Opis

Between early 1978 and late 1980, power relationships in the Pacific region underwent historic transformation. Dr. Bedeski draws on Chinese, Soviet, and Japanese sources to clarify the relationships among the wide range of events ensuing from the Sino-Japanese treaty and points to its relevance to a new era of Sino-Soviet relations.
