| | Integrating Asia into World History |
| | Asia has been intimately involved from the earliest of times when trade routes brought people into contact with one another and established the process of cross-cultural borrowing as peoples, religions, and goods met without reference to the East or West dominating this exchange. | | | Putting Asia in a world history context offers you the opportunity to view this area of the world, not as one where poverty-stricken developing countries exist (the stereotype many students have), but one where nations with incredibly rich histories and philosophies existed long before Western Civilization as we know it developed. | | | Perhaps the palmist in Mussorie was on to something when he claimed I had been either a queen or a yogi in a previous existence. |

| | A Return to History: Muslim Asia Reawakens |
| | Vietnam made its share of history, not because Vietnam itself was important, but because of Washington and the American policy community's paranoia about what it could produce: some huge anti-American upsurge of all the Third World. | | | This, too, is undermining the American position in Asia (as it is in Europe). | | | This would be dangerous in any case, but it is particularly dangerous today because neither the South Korean nor the Japanese governments seems prepared for the demands that America's crisis is about to make on them. |

| | A Skewed History of Asia |
| | In Wolfowitz's rosy view of history, the millions of Koreans, Filipinos and Indonesians who rebelled against their authoritarian governments were following in Japan's footsteps. | | | A more accurate analogy between postwar Asia and US policy today would be the United States installing friendly leaders in Baghdad willing to do US bidding in the Middle East, and subservient, pro-US governments providing the economic underpinning to the new US imperialism. | | | Japan was not the inspiration for the democratic upsurge that swept through East Asia in the 1980s. |
