Sino-Japanese Relations in a Trilateral Context

More about the book

The book delves into the complex dynamics of Sino-Japanese relations since the 2000s, highlighting the deep-rooted mutual misperceptions shaped by the trilateral interactions among China, Japan, and the U.S. Despite their economic interdependence, political and security ties have worsened, even as both nations seek to improve relations. Through a comparative analysis of the evolving perceptions and policies over the past fifteen years, the author presents five case studies that offer valuable insights for international relations students, scholars, and policymakers on the origins and escalation of mistrust.
