Summary:
"Grounded in extensive empirical research, this title addresses the major issues of geopolitics in the region that have been and will continue to shape the international politics of the Asia-Pacific for years to come. Covering the nation-states of China, Japan and South Korea, it includes an examination of the key island disputes, as well as analysis of the North Korea-South Korea clashes in the Yellow Sea, controversies in Japan's relations with both Koreas and the so-called 'history disputes', including recognition of World War II atrocities across the region. In doing so, this book explores a range of themes from the ecological environment to the globalized nature of shipping and therein links the East Asian maritime sphere directly to the dynamics and developments in the domestic politics of each country"-- Provided by publisher.
