Applies a critical eye to the dominant concept of regional order in the Asia Pacific. As the plural in the title implies, there is no one order in this region, but rather a number of competing regional orders. Examines the different orders constructed by different issues separately. Investigates how the political order differs from the economic order, and from the security order, and from the cultural order. Also examines competing regional definitions, concerns, and orders: Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the North Pacific; Oceania, North America, and the Americas. At each level, the analysis will also scrutinize how each of these definitions and orders relate to each other, whether complementary or conflicting.
