The idea that the twenty-first century will be "Asian" in the same way the twentieth century was "American" is widely repeated but rarely scrutinized. In fact, this assumption is not only overly simplistic--it may actually fuel the very geopolitical rivalry that poses the greatest risk to Asia's stability and prosperity: the strategic competition between the United States and China.While Asia is undoubtedly becoming more influential in global affairs--mirroring earlier eras of European dominance and America's continued global reach--the notion of an "Asian Century" obscures more than it reveals. This paper examines the many economic, political, demographic, and security complexities hidden within the phrase and argues that no single continent can define the future. Instead, the century ahead will be shaped by a dynamic interplay of regional and global forces that defies easy characterization.

With the advancement of globalization and increasingly closer economic ties among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, China is playing a more prominent role in promoting Asia-Pacific economic integration. Since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) went into effect in January 2022, regional cooperation featuring shared dividends and synergy for development has made fresh progress. Despite the severe challenges posed by the accelerating divergence of the global economy, shrinking demand and sluggish growth, collaborative efforts to build a high-level RCEP regional market will not only inject strong momentum into both regional and global economic growth, but also bring siqnificant certainty to an increasingly uncertain global economy. Addressing key issues surrounding regional economic development, the book compiles studies and insights from renowned experts and scholars on RCEP. It offers readers a comprehensive overview of the regional trade within the RCEP framework

Written in the third century BC in Alexandria, this is the only full surviving account of Jason's legendary quest for the Golden Fleece. It describes the thrilling adventures of the Argonauts on their voyage to Colchis to plead with king Aeetes for the fleece, his greatest treasure and the Eros-inspired passion felt by his daughter, the beautiful witch-princess Medea, for the scheming Jason. Chronicling a journey that sees Jason and his crew traverse perilous seas, negotiate the treacherous Cyanean Rocks, and confront the lure of the Sirens' song, The Voyage of Argo is a masterful depiction of distinctly human heroism and betrayal caused by love. An eloquent marriage of romance and realism, it tells the definitive version of one of the greatest legends of the classical age: an epic tale of bravery, prophecy and magic.
