摘要
A country or region’s connection with the world is first and foremost established in a regional context.To build a holistic view of Asia and the Pacific,researchers need a regional perspective in addition to their global and national perspectives.This pursuit calls for crosscultural,cross-disciplinary,and cross-medium research methods,because its holistic nature requires recognition of diversity,understanding of differences,and comprehensive analysis of phenomena.Despite starting from a rich theoretical background,comparative Asia-Pacific studies actually involve quite fundamental research,characterized by reflecting the larger picture via the examination of a smaller issues.
