Sino-Japanese Relations: Facing the Past,

Over recent years, there has been increasing interest in the relationship between China and Japan, particularly as a way of understanding contemporary political, economic and security developments within the whole East Asia region. Combining salient case-study analysis - themed around history, sovereignty and legal issues - with an overview of the intellectual debates surrounding this important bilateral relationship, Caroline Rose presents a thorough, balanced and objective examination of both sides of the relationship. This will be of great interest to academics and policy-makers in the UK and US, as well as to professionals working in Chinese and Japanese communities.

Caroline Rose is Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies and Head of the Japanese Section at the Department of East Asian Studies, University of Leeds.
