Chapter 1 in Promoting Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 1997, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The idea of cross-Pacific cooperation is a rather recent phenomenon. The first non-governmental forum dedicated to promoting cross-cultural understanding among the peoples of the Pacific region was the Pan-Pacific Union, founded in 1907 in Honolulu. Its activities spawned several similar private fora in the 1920s, the most important of which was the Institute of Pacific Relations, which was created in 1925 and included representatives from Australia, Canada, China, Britain, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines and the United States. The Institute later fell prey to the anticommunist hysteria and McCarthyism of the Cold War and was disbanded in 1961.1
