Japans Relations with China
Japans Relations with China examines the fundamental transformation in East Asias political economy given the phenomenon of a rising China and a stagnating Japan. Questioning whether their relationship is one of cooperation or conflict, the book reviews China and Japans bilateral ties to see whether they have deepened and broadened despite differences in outlook, national interest and political systems.
The book adds a new perspective to the Sino-Japanese political relations discussion by looking beyond the interactions of central governments to examine the role of NGOs, local governments and sub-regional linkages. Adopting a range of analytical approaches, an international group of contributors explore case studies including the Taiwan issue, the Japanese Official Development Assistance towards China and the problems of history. With perspectives from the US, Russia and Malaysia the book yields new insights into this complex and multifaceted relationship and will be of importance to those studying Asian politics and international relations.
Lam Peng Er is Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore.
