The Future of East Asia

This book collects some of the most influential scholars in international relations who focus on Asia globally in exploring the challenges of diplomacy faced in Asia as US policy drastically changes.

China's government is also retrenching nationalist positions; what is the future of China, and what does that mean for the region? A wide range of distinguished scholars, concerned about the future, have contributed their thoughts in an attempt to spark a global dialogue.

Collects the best scholars globally in analyzing contemporary issues Offers a timely and crucial analysis of how Trump's election will impact Asia Provides a framework for China's peaceful rise and material for those who wish to avoid war Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
