TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the fallacy of composition of the export-led growth model and show that while the model may work well if pursued by a limited number of countries, it may break down if a large majority of developing countries seeks to pursue it at the same time, because an outpouring of manufactured exports might be more than Western markets could absorb.

TL;DR: Genetic studies using autosomal, mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome markers all point to an African ancestor of East Asians, and a survey of more than 1,000 East Asian Y chromosomes shows no local contribution, making the multiregional hypothesis very unlikely.
Abstract: East Asia is one of the few regions in the world where a relatively large number of human fossils have been unearthed--a discovery that has been taken as evidence for an independent local origin of modern humans outside of Africa. However, genetic studies conducted in the past ten years, especially using Y chromosomes, have provided unequivocal evidence for an African origin of East Asian populations. The genetic signatures present in diverse East Asian populations mark the footsteps of prehistoric migrations that occurred tens of thousands of years ago.

TL;DR: This article argued that a burgeoning China poses a long-term danger to Asia-Pacific security for two reasons: first, despite Japan's present economic strength, a future Chinese hegemony in East Asia is a strong possibility, while Japan's inherent weaknesses create doubts about the ability of the Japanese to increase or sustain.
Abstract: I Northeast Asia has been relatively peaceful for the past forty years. The post-Cold War era, however, will bring new security challenges to the Asia-Pacific region. Perhaps the most serious of these challenges involves China’s expected emergence as a major economic power in the near future. While a developed, prosperous Chinese economy offers the region many potential benefits, it would also give China the capability to challenge Japan for domination of East Asia. China’s recent economic growth signals a change in East Asia’s distribution of power and draws renewed attention to Chinese foreign policy. What are the consequences of Chinese economic growth for regional security?’ I argue that a burgeoning China poses a long-term danger to Asia-Pacific security for two reasons. First, despite Japan’s present economic strength, a future Chinese hegemony in East Asia is a strong possibility. China is just beginning to realize its vast economic potential, while Japan’s inherent weaknesses create doubts about the ability of the Japanese to increase or sustain
