January-March 2011 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume III., Issue 1. _____________________________________________________________________________________ their ethnocentrism, many Western analysts have serious difficulties understanding and assessing its nature, its workings, and its global importance. Chapter 10. Richard Pomfret: Regionalism in Asia examines the regional trade arrangements in East Asia, where in contrast to other regions in the world, they proliferated from 2000 on. Chapter 11. Sadequl Islam: The Impact of China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement on Textiles and Clothing Sectors of Asian Regions provides a very detailed empirical analysis of the China-ASEAN free trade agreement on textiles and clothing sectors in China and the ASEAN countries based on Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model and database (version 6). Chapter 12. Mehdi Parvizi Amineh & Henk Houweling: China and the Transformation of the Post-Cold War Geopolitical Order concludes the anthology. As mentioned before, it provides the overall geopolitical background for the rest of the volume. Using the conceptual apparatus of geopolitics, the authors present a critical analysis of the succession of geopolitical orders beginning with the Pax Britannica, and then continuing with the Pax Americana up to the end of the first decade of the 21 st century when the rise of China is ripping it apart. An in-depth analysis of the main geopolitical factors that are at play is provided, contemplating at several future scenarios, including the challenges that China faces in this process. All in all, this is a collection of papers, which taken together provide a vibrant and interesting picture of the exciting period in which we live now. It is very valuable especially for scholars but also to the well-informed and inquisitive segment of the general public. _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2011 176
January-March 2011 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume III., Issue 1. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Fanny Wonu Veys: MANA MĀORI Author: Fanny Wonu Veys Title: Mana Māori — The Power of New Zealand’s First Inhabitants — Publisher: Leiden University Press Year of publishing: 2010 Language: English Number of pages: 144 ISBN: 978 90 8728 083 3 http://www.lup.nl/ ‘Mana Māori, the Power of New Zealand’s First Inhabitants’ is a book accompanying the exhibition with the same name held at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, the Netherlands from 16 October 2010 until 1 May 2011 (http://www.rmv.nl/index.aspx?lang=en). Due to the overwhelming success, the exhibition has been prolonged until 18 September 2011. An exhibition of this importance is held for the first time in the Netherlands on this subject. The Dutch version of the book will also be the first of its kind aimed at the Dutch public. Thus it is no exaggeration to say that both the exhibition and the book fill a gap for the wide, general (Dutch) public concerning the Māori people, New Zealand’s indigenous population and their relation to the Netherlands and other Western European countries. In fact the exhibition and the book should be used in concert, they complement each other perfectly. For those who can not visit the exhibition the book represents an even greater value because the majority of the exhibited objects are incorporated into it, along with additional material. New Zealand is about seven times the size of the Netherlands and almost as large as the British Isles. 2,200 kilometers of sea keep New Zealand apart from Australia. In relation to Western Europe, New Zealand is situated at the opposite side of the globe. It consists of two main islands and numerous smaller ones, and is called Aotearoa in the language of its indigenous people, the Māoris. Its spectacular landscape makes it as a favourite setting for many blockbuster films of which Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy is probably the most famous.
