75 Foreign Aff. 156 (1996)
Africa

handle is hein.journals/fora75 and id is 542 raw text is: Recent Books trade rivalry shows why the countries have different preferences. The United States prefers deeper integration and for- mal rules, and its major challenge is squaring the bilateralism sometimes re- quired to promote deeper integration with the multilateralism that best recon- ciles its diverse global interests. Takashi Inoguchi's insightful essay discusses contrasting conceptions of human rights in the Asia-Pacific and the United States. Jitsuo Tsuchiyama skillfuly uti- lizes international relations theory to ex- plain the alliance's origins and the rea- sons it is likely to continue. India and the Bomb: Public Opinion and Nuclear Options. EDITED BY DAVID CORTRIGHT AND AMITABH MATTOO. Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1996, i6o pp. $29.95 (paper, $18.95). An intriguing study of what the Indian elite thinks about nuclear weapons. The data are taken from a specially commis- sioned survey by one of India's leading market research companies and ana- lyzed by several American and Indian defense specialists. The survey divides respondents into supporters of renunci- ation, acquisition, or the Indian govern- ment policy of ambiguity, neither re- nouncing nuclear weapons nor acquiring them. The survey found substantial sup- port for current government policy. Some 57 percent of those polled favored New Delhi's policy of neither confirming nor denying a de facto nuclear capabil- ity. Some 33 percent favored outright ac- quisition and only 8 percent supported renunciation. There are also informative chapters on the pros and cons of India's four major nuclear policy options-the above three, along with a freeze on cur- rent production. Megatrends Asia: EightAsian Megatrends That Are Reshaping Our World BY JOHN NAISBITT. NewYork Simon & Schuster, 1996, 298 pp. 824.00. Another in the now common genre of flashy books on how Asia is set to rival and overtake the West in power and influence in the 21st century. What is missing is any mention, let alone appre- ciation, of Asian power rivalries and mu- tual suspicions. If these were taken into account, a more nuanced picture might emerge. Also left out is the verdict of re- spectable economists such as Paul Krug- man who doubt whether the present high growth rates of Asian economies can be sustained. Corazon Aquino and the Brushfire Revolution. BY ROBERT H. REID AND EILEEN GUERRERO. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1995, 26o pp. $29.95. A balanced and thoughtful analysis of the Philippines in the years since the fall of Marcos is very much needed. Unfor- tunately, this journalistic account is not it. It is almost entirely lacking in analy- sis, and it is excessively harsh on Aquino's presidency. Africa GAIL M. GERHART The Rwanda Crisis. History of a Genocide. BY GERARD PRUNIER. NewYork. Columbia University Press, 1995, 389 pp. $29.95. FOREIGN AFFAIRS • Volume7sNo.3 [1L5 6]
