| Description | The recent history of the Asia-Pacific region has been converted into a myth, or sacred narrative, which invites the fulfillment of a certain kind of future, rather than just explaining and justifying one version of an ideologically contested past. Political, economic, and academic elites on both sides of the Pacific use the myth to protect programs and policies in the present to which such elites have become attached, and to mobilize people for their future achievement. Relatively commonplace observations of contemporary reality become transmuted into visions of governments' (or universities') sense of the future meaning of reality in relation to themselves and to the peoples they govern or instruct.
