 - New York:  Council on Foreign Relations,  1998 
 - 180p. 
<br/><br/> Argues that Asia's transnational problems are not distant fires across the water which the United States and others can ignore. Governments on both sides of the Pacific are unprepared to deal with large scale social problems posed by economic difficulties, poverty, disease, migration, pollution, environmental damage, human rights abuses, corruption, crime, and narcotics. A plethora of ills once described by a disenchanted diplomat as "drugs, thugs, and bugs".
