China's leaders have characterized relations with its neighbors as 'Good-Neighbor' relations since 1949, but for much of the period of the People's Republic of China, it was anything but neighborly. Yet as China's power vis-A -vis its neighbors has grown in the last two decades, its relations with those same countries improved substantially. Jackson seeks to understand the evolution of China's relations with its neighbors, both Central Asian and in particular its Southeast Asian neighbors. Interestingly, as China's policies toward its neighbors evolve, the policies of those neighbors have evolved as well within a regional context of shifting power, capabilities and interests. Unlike many books on 'The Rise of China' which place China within a purely global perspective, this book understands China in a regional perspective, its neighborhood.
