The Pacific Age in World History.
Korhonen, Pekka
Journal of World History, v7 n1 p41-70 Spr 1996
Tracks the intermittent appearances and variations of the historical concept of a "Pacific Age" from the 1890s to the present. Discusses the social, economic, and historical conditions that resulted in the term's heralding of either economic optimism or racist peril. Suggests these interpretations come in cycles. (MJP)
