Between Tiger and Dragon

More about the book

From ancient trade to present day tensions, the history between the Philippines and China is a long and complex one, as fascinating as it is challenging. The entry of a third force -- the setting up of the Nationalist government of Taiwan in the late 1940's -- made it even more so. Scholar Claude Haberer gives us a clear and comprehensive view of this relationship, seeing -- from the eyes of an informed observer -- its dynamics and subtleties against the background of a changing world. Regardless of whether your interest in personal, academic, or strategic, this book offers valuable insights and information that will contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of this crucial corner of the world.
