1. Pacific Asia comprises the states bordering on the Asian coast of the Pacific Ocean. Of course, any sensible sense of a region must take account of important non-resident powers (the United States) and less important resident ones (Russia).
2. The essence and role of Lite powers is developed in Barry Buzan and Gerald Segal, Anticipating the future (London: Simon & Schuster, 1997). For an application of the concept that states which grow rich and free also grow less likely to have the stomach for nasty conflict and the use of force, see Barry Buzan and Gerald Segal, 'The rise of Lite Powers', World Policy Journal 13: 3, Fall 1996.
