Imagining the Pacific: Global Trade and Geopolitics

The decades since the Vietnam War have been a time of economic growth in the Far East, as freer trade and shared goals bring East and West closer together. Shot on location in the Asia-Pacific region, this insightful program explores key issues and events in the area’s transition from 18th-century isolation to integration within the global community. The Pacific Rim’s encounters with Captain Cook and Commodore Perry and the impact of World War II are presented as a historical springboard for understanding the region’s postwar dynamism, its growing sense of identity, and its strengthening alignment with the West. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
