2014brossura Il tema di "Asia-Pacifico: regione emergente. Luoghi, Culture, Relazioni" sottolinea la crescente importanza acquisita dalla regione cosiddetta "Asia-Pacifico" negli equilibri demografici, economici, politici e socioculturali del nostro pianeta nel terzo Millennio. Le potenzialità di quest'area geografica e il suo nuovo ruolo di perno degli equilibri globali hanno spinto i numerosi autori di diverse discipline a interrogarsi e a discutere intorno a questo argomento. I temi approntati nel volume sono molteplici e spaziano dalle principali caratteristiche geopolitiche dell'Asia-Pacifico alla storia regionale; dal ruolo dell'Asia-Pacifico nel passato, nel presente e nel futuro, dall'analisi dei principali attori interni alla regione (Cina, Australia, Corea del Nord ecc.) alle più rilevanti tendenze politiche, economiche, sociali o culturali presenti nell'Asia-Pacifico. Questi temi, cruciali per gli attuali e i prossimi equilibri mondiali sono declinati anche in chiave didattica, attraverso l'apporto di docenti ed esperti operatori nel campo della scuola italiana.
