Routledge Chinese-Japanese Competition and East Asian Security

Explore the complex diplomatic, economic, and security competition between China and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region. This volume from the Asian Security Studies series provides an essential look at the Sino-Japanese relationship, an area often overlooked in studies that focus primarily on US-China relations or US hegemony in Asia. This book analyzes foreign policy shifts under President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It examines regional security dynamics within and between Asian states and institutions since 2012. By focusing on the specific rivalry between these two major powers, the text offers a necessary perspective on how competition shapes the modern East Asian security complex. This is a key resource for students and professionals interested in understanding the changing balance of power and influence in the Asia-Pacific.
