The International Politics of the Asia Pacific
This second edition of Michael Yahuda's extremely successful textbook introduces students to the international politics of the Asia Pacific region since 1945. The new edition is completely updated with contemporary coverage of the economic crises and includes new chapters on: the current role of East Asia in world affairs prospects post-2000 the strengths and weaknesses of US dominance and the challenge of other powers prospects for and implications of an East Asian economic recovery.
Hong Kong
The return of Hong Kong to China in July 1997 has the potential to benefit China's rapidly expanding economy. China's handling of the transition will have enormous implications for her international standing. This is the first study to analyse the serious problems and real opportunities that the return of the colony poses to China's international status. Examining the relationships between Greater China, Hong Kong and the West, Hong Kong: China's Challenge explores the challenges that Chinese policy makers face up to 1997 and beyond: the clash of political cultures; handling problematic negotiations; dealing with conflicting economic interests. The book concludes by suggesting that a laissez faire approach to the lucrative Hong Kong markets will ensure that China harnesses the full political and economic benefits of sovereignty over the colony.
China's Role in World Affairs
First published in 1978, China's Role in World Affairs analyses China's foreign policy within a framework suggested by the conceptualisation of the outside world and China's place within it, as articulated and acted upon by China's leaders. Divided into two parts, the book discusses China's role as an ally of the Soviet Union and as an independent socialist system, following the Sino-Soviet rupture. The main operational concepts and themes of China's foreign policy are also traced. Of particular interest is the conflict between those leaders in the early 1960s who still believed that China should be linked with the Soviet Union, and those who, like Mao, thought of China's role as an independent socialist country leading an internationalist united front against the superpowers. Examination is made of the origin and place of the Third World states in China's global perspectives. This is the first book to trace the development of the Chinese theory of the three worlds and to show its importance for the Chinese conception of a new world order.
Sino-Japanese Relations After the Cold War
Since the end of the Cold War China and Japan have faced each other as powers of relatively equal strength for the first time in their long history. As the two great powers of East Asia the way they both compete and cooperate with each other and the way they conduct their relations in the new era will play a big part in the evolution of the region as a whole. This textbook will explore in detail the ways in which politics has shaped the thinking about history and identity in both China and Japan and explain the role political leadership in each country has played in shaping their respective nationalisms. Michael Yahuda traces the evolution of the relationship over the two decades against the...
