- Synopsis
- This text was written with the intent of providing an integrated account of the development of Asian international relations since World War II. The two key themes addressed by the text are the way developments in the different regions of Asia have led from colonial dependence to greater assertiveness and the role of China in Asian affairs. The authors take a chronological and thematic approach, presenting chapters on postwar planning by the victors of World War II; the Chinese Civil War; the occupation of Japan; the Korean War; decolonization, nationalism, and revolution; the US alliance system; the Sino-Soviet alliance; the Vietnam War; Chinese strategic realignment; the end of the Cold War; the rise of China; issues of the 21st century; and patterns of change and continuity. The authors have placed boxes with excerpts of primary documents throughout the text in order to encourage the student to engage with such primary sources.
