TL;DR: Cumings as discussed by the authors argues that relations with Asia influenced America's history greatly, and argues that America is the first world power to inhabit an immense land mass open at both ends to the world's two largest oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Abstract: America is the first world power to inhabit an immense land mass open at both ends to the world's two largest oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific. This gives America a great competitive advantage often overlooked by Atlanticists, whose focus remains overwhelmingly fixed on America's relationship with Europe. Bruce Cumings challenges the Atlanticist perspective in this innovative new history, arguing that relations with Asia influenced our history greatly. Cumings chronicles how the movement westward, from the Middle West to the Pacific, has shaped America's industrial, technological, military, and global rise to power. He unites domestic and international history, international relations, and political economy to demonstrate how technological change and sharp economic growth have created a truly bicoastal national economy that has led the world for more than a century. Cumings emphasizes the importance of American encounters with Mexico, the Philippines, and the nations of East Asia. The result is a wonderfully integrative history that advances a strong argument for a dual approach to American history incorporating both Atlanticist and Pacificist perspectives.

TL;DR: This paper examined the first phase of fertility declines in four major Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia Malaysia the Philippines and Thailand. But despite wide variations across countries, clear evidence emerges of significant fertility decline in all four countries.
Abstract: Among the worlds regions Southeast Asia appears to be second only to East Asia in its potential for completed fertility transitions in the near future. This article uses microdata from 1970 and 1980 censuses to examine the first phase of fertility declines in four major Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia Malaysia the Philippines and Thailand. In spite of wide variations across countries clear evidence emerges of significant fertility declines in all four; moreover within countries once fertility transition is well under way all social groups and geographical areas are affected.
