"My new book, Currency and Contest in East Asia: The Great Power Politics of Financial Regionalism, has just been published by Cornell University Press. It is the first book-length study to be published in English on financial cooperation in East Asia. Financial regionalism is of major interest in East Asian capitals from Tokyo and Beijing down to Bangkok, but it has gone mostly unnoticed except by a small number of academics and Treasury officials in the US. Anyone who has an interest in being the only person in his or her social circle who knows about this topic should buy my book. Actually, I welcome book purchases for any reason, whether curiosity, an appreciation for a pretty cool cover, loyalty to a classmate, or guilt.
In other news, Melinda Stanford (also class of 1987) and I recently celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. We feel fortunate for all the happy years together and look forward to many more. Our daughter Isabel is now in kindergarten and loves it. We are frankly jealous of all the great projects and activities they are doing. Our 3 1/2 year-old son Will has emerged from a year of major transitions (good-bye to crib and diapers!) as an engaging little boy whose only major bad habit is growling at people when he is angry. He has decided he wants to be a superhero when he grows up. Melinda continues to teach voice students and do her own music on a part-time basis, as we juggle our schedules so that we stay involved as full-time parents. Life is good, although we do notice that our ambitions have increasingly focused on fantasies of more sleep."
