The author describes the curator’s role in developing and navigating relationships and representation with nation/state partners in the context of serious political differences and violent histories which include the legacy of U.S. engagements with Asian countries. Ranging across the experience of collaborative research and curation of ten international programs at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival—chiefly involving Asian countries, including the Silk Road Festival and the Mekong River Festival Program, over a twenty year period (1988 – 2008)—the chapter chronicles the changing attitudes of both organizers and audiences and traces changing attitudes to ideas about the nature of “tradition” over these decades.

The East Asian region plays an important economic role in the system of world economic relations, includ-ing one fifth of the world's population with a rapidly growing middle class and mobility that creates high consumer demand. The specifics of the functioning of international business in the key East Asian countries, including gov-ernment regulation, forms of doing business, characteristic features and stages of the formation of international business, differ significantly from those adopted in Western countries. Due to this, the study of the development and functioning of international business in the region is a relevant area of research. The article discusses the main specific features of the Asian business model, analyzes the specificity and forms of functioning of international business in the East Asian countries.
