Opis

This book is a remarkable attempt to understand and summarize the current and historical Sino-Japanese relationship: two countries bound by ties of history, culture, geography, and economic complementarity. Through this investigation, the contributors are able to broaden our understanding of contemporary changes in international relations, and to consider the implications of changes in the Sino-Japanese relationship for the wider world. This volume deals with the history of contact, the economic imperatives driving the links, the diplomatic and political maneuverings in which both countries indulge, and the antipathies that mean the Sino-Japanese relationship is far from trouble-free. This work should prove to be an invaluable reference for academics and scholars.

Recenzje

A good introduction to the past and current state of Sino-Japanese relations ... this is a valuable collection of essays, with something for both the specialist and the non-specialist and a sense of timeliness and cohesion often lacking from conference volumes. The sixteen-page bibliography of material cited is unusual in such a work, but adds to the general value of the book.
