Dennis,

Mitchell Bernard's piece "East Asia's Tumbling Dominos: Financial Crises and the Myth of the Regional Model" is in the 1999 Socialist Register. If Marty and Paul's book is not in yet, perhaps you can find their article in the April, 98 issue of Economic Geography, which lays out some of their ideas. Also: Rob Steven: Japan and the New Imperialism, M.E. Sharp, 1990 and Japan and the New World Order, St. Martin's Press, 1996 Tabb's book also goes into the regionalization of Japanese capital.
