Intra-Asian International Relations edited by George T. Yu, University of Illinois
This collection of authoritative papers prepared by some of America's most eminent scholars in the field provides us with an up-to-date analysis of the complex and rapidly changing relations among China, Russia, Japan, and the countries of South and Southeast Asia. The contributors discuss in depth the major issues faced by the policymakers of each country, examining also the role of the U.S. in order to furnish greater perspective and a more realistic picture. Among the issues considered are Sino-Soviet relations, interdependence versus national assertiveness, economic interaction, and the effects of international conflict. The analyses of individual countries are supplemented by a broader view of actors and issues in regional and international contexts; equally important, the emphasis on contemporary aspects allows a look at current trends and the dynamics of future Asian international relations.
George T. Yu holds a Ph.D. from the University of California. At present he is professor of political science and Asian studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana.

The end of World War II was a watershed in intra-Asian international relations; it brought Western domination of Asia to an end and ushered in a trend toward greater regional autonomy and interaction. To be sure, the Korean War, the Sino-Soviet conflict, the Vietnam War, and other events obscured this new development, exaggerating the continued dependence of Asian countries upon external sources while diverting attention from increasing intra-Asian interaction. The greater level of relations among the regional actors has not meant exclusion of external sources; nor has it meant that Asian countries have severed or intend to sever linkages with countries outside Asia. What developments in Asia have shown has been the changing nature of Asian international relations: toward greater Asianization and more involvement of the Asian states with each other.
