Recenzje

"China and Japan are major regional powers with an increasing global presence. This timely volume speaks to the important topic of their relations. The contributing scholars provide informative discussions of various dimensions of these relations, and help to put contemporary developments in a historical context." - Steve Chan, Chair and Professor of Political Science, University of Colorado"Skillfully bringing together historical, economic, cultural, territorial, and security dimensions, Hsiung and his collaborators show us how this pivotal Asian nexus, never an easy one, became so troubled. Yet the book also leaves us with a vision of how these old rivals might like Germany and France become reconciled, inaugurating a new Asian political architecture." - Lowell Dittmer, Professor of Political Scienceand Editor, Asian Survey, University of California at Berkeley
