ISBN: 9781138814349 / Angielski / Twarda / 1570 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of imperialism in China is a complex, contentious history.

Without doubt, the way in which this bilateral relationship will evolve over the next few years has the potential to transform the architecture of regional and international politics. It is therefore... Academic and popular interest in China and Japan, the two major powers in East Asia, has risen dramatically in the last decade. While on the one ha... |
