Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many policy analysts believe China-Japan-U.S. relations to be the key triangle in world politics of the 21st century. While the emerging Asia Pacific region will have a profound impact on the future of the international system, the continuing security and prosperity of the region will be largely contingent upon enhanced cooperation between the region's three dominant economies: China, Japan, and the United States. The essays collected here, one by a leading foreign policy expert from each of the countries, suggest means to strengthen trilateral dialogue and cooperation. Their analyses lead to the conclusion that achieving substantive dialogue will be critical to the management of the trilateral relationship among these major actors in the most dynamic region of the world in the coming century.

Book excerpt: As the balance of power in Asia shifts, relations among China, Japan, and the United States are becoming increasingly important for the future of the region as well as for the rest of the world. Trilateral relationships tend to be unstable, but the dynamics of China-Japan-U.S. relations are further complicated by historical enmities, differing systems of governance, competition in the economic and security realms, and growing interdependence. While most studies of these countries focus on their bilateral ties, "Getting the Triangle Straight" turns its attention to the ways in which they relate to one another in a trilateral context. In this volume, three leading experts from China, Japan, and the United States are joined by nine younger, emerging scholars to analyze the relationship and offer recommendations for better managing the volatile dynamics of trilateral relations. Contributors include Rumi Aoyama (Waseda University), Gerald Curtis (Columbia University), Fan Shiming (Peking University), M. Taylor Fravel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Gui Yongtao (Peking University), Ryosei Kokubun (Keio University), Yasuhiro Matsuda (National Institute of Defense Studies), Andrew Oros (Washington College), Sadia Pekkanen (University of Washington), Katsuhiro Sasuga (Tokai University), Wang Jisi (Peking University), and Zhang Haibin (Peking University).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events in Asia-Pacific underline the pivotal importance of the China-Japan-U.S. relationship for the future evolution of the region. In an important follow-up to their path-breaking 1996 assessment, China-Japan-US: Managing the Trilateral Relationship, the three original co-authors review the underlying challenges confronting the development of this "vital triangle." Recent developments —notably, the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Taiwan's apparent moves toward greater independence, Japanese displeasure at President Clinton's failure to visit Tokyo after his trip to China, Japan's decision to pursue R& D on theater missile defense, and China's heavy-handed use of its historical grievances with Japan —have made management of the trilateral relationship even more challenging. Yet, the basic imperatives for deeper cooperation remain essentially unchanged. Continuing uncertainties on the Korean peninsula, recent nuclear developments in South Asia, political instabilities in Southeast Asia, and a general weakening of regional institutions in the wake of the Asian financial crisis require basic cooperation between China, Japan, and the United States. This volume offers indispensable insights on the evolving complexities of the China-Japan-U.S. relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many policy analysts believe China-Japan-U.S. relations to be the key triangle in world politics of the 21st century. The ten essays in this book probe the interrelations of the three major powers of the Asia Pacific region. Experts from China, Japan, and the United States examine the evolving nature of trilateral relations by analyzing the impact on their interactions of such international events as the Asian financial crisis, the situation on the Korean peninsula, and the new nuclear arms race in South Asia occasioned by India's and Pakistan's nuclear tests. Recognizing that the continuing prosperity and security of Asia Pacific is largely contingent upon enhanced cooperation between China, Japan, and the United States, the authors examine the ways in which the three countries can collaborate to resolve specific troublesome regional issues and ways in which bilateral relations among the three can be improved. The Asian financial crisis, the South Asian nuclear tests, and the exchange of visits between President Bill Clinton and President Jiang Zemin appear to have drastically changed the context for discussion of trilateral relations. The warming of Sino-U.S. relations in particular has caused some analysts to question whether in the next century the United States might make a strategic choice to downplay its close security and economic relations with Japan in favor of a broadened and deepened relationship with China. China's rise, particularly if it is perceived as having come about at Japan's expense, will call into question the objective of trilateral dialogue: Is it to develop equidistant relations, or to reinforce current bilateral relationships while maintaining the status quo? These new dimensions of the China-Japan-U.S. relationship point to the importance of developing a sustained trilateral dialogue to manage the psychology of trilateral relations, for the benefit of the three countries and the region, as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivalry between Japan and China has a long and sometimes brutal history, and they continue to eye each other warily as the balance of power tips toward Beijing. They cooperate and compete at the same time, but if competition deteriorates into military conflict, the entire world has much to lose. The Perils of Proximity evaluates the chances of armed conflict between China and Japan, presenting in stark relief the dangers it would pose and revealing the steps that could head off such a disastrous turn of events. Richard Bush focuses his on the problematic East China Sea region. Although Japan’s military capabilities are more considerable than some in the West realize, its defense budget has remained basically flat in recent years. Meanwhile, Chinese military expenditures have grown by double digits annually. Moreover, that the emphasis of China’s military modernization is on power projection—the ability of its air and naval forces to stretch their reach to the east, thus encroaching on its island neighbor. Tokyo regards the growth of Chinese power and its focus on the East China Sea with deep anxiety. How should they respond? The balance of power is changing, and Japan must account for that uncomfortable fact in crafting its strategy. It is incumbent on China, Japan, and the United States to take steps to reduce the odds of clash and conflict in the East China Sea, and veteran Asia analyst Bush presents recommendations to that end. The steps he suggests won’t be easy, and effective political leadership will be absolutely critical. If implemented fully and correctly, however, they have the potential of reducing the perils of proximity in Asia.
Download or read book United States China Japan Working Group on Trilateral Confidence and Security Building Measures written by David Fouse and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuing security and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region is contingent on cooperation among the region¿s 3 dominant powers: China, Japan, and the U.S. Yet security in the region is fluid, unstable, and vulnerable to both internal and external pressures for confrontation and possibly conflict. Because of institutional weakness and the close operating proximity of militaries in the region, there is a need for a more robust regime of confidence- and security-building measures (CSBMs) in the region. During a period of power transition when uncertainty about intentions, or even an accident could spark an unintended confrontation in the Pacific, the development of a robust trilateral CSBM regime can play a key role in stabilizing the region.
Download or read book The United States between China and Japan written by Caroline Rose and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its insistence that Japan should favour diplomatic normalization with the Republic of China over the People’s Republic of China in 1952, through its role, via the Security Treaty, of keeping the ‘cap in the bottle’ of Japanese militarism, to weighing in on the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands dispute between China and Japan, the United States has played a pivotal, and at times controversial, role in the development of China-Japan relations since the end of World War II. By extension, US influence on China-Taiwan and Taiwan-Japan relations, in addition to its impact on the efforts of various actors to construct a Northeast Asian regional community, continues to pose important questions about the nature of the US role in East Asia in the 21st century. This volume provides a multi-faceted overview of the nature of America’s interaction in East Asia since the end of the war, and highlights the obstacles to improved bilateral and regional integration. The contributors offer a range of perspectives from their respective US, European, and East Asian vantage points, and point to the ongoing and prominent involvement of the US in the region for the foreseeable future.

Download or read book Japan s Relations With China written by Peng Er Lam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection examine Sino-Japanese political relations given the phenomenon of ‘a rising China and a stagnating Japan’. Questioning whether their relationship is one of cooperation or conflict, the book reviews China and Japan’s bilateral ties to see whether they have deepened and broadened despite differences in outlook, national interest and political systems. Adding a new perspective to the Sino-Japanese political relations discussion, the book looks beyond the interactions of central governments to examine the role of NGOs, local governments and sub-regional linkages. The contributors adopt a range of analytical approaches and explore case studies including the Taiwan issue, Japanese Official Development Policy towards China and joint fishery management in the East China Sea. With perspectives from the US, Russia and Malaysia, the book yields new insights into this complex and multifaceted relationship and is a welcome addition to the current literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How relevant today is an alliance that was forged between a powerful United States and a weak Japan in the context of a cold war struggle with the Soviet Union? In what ways have the changes in the relative power positions of the two countries and the structural changes in the world economy created new challenges to the U.S.-Japan relationship and how are the two countries responding to those challenges? These are some of the important questions addressed by the eight Japanese and American authors of this volume. Their focus ranges from issues of military relations, trade and financial management, and shifting security perspectives to the roles of the mass media in the bilateral relationship. A truly binational effort, the book brings together the thinking of some of the best-trained younger political scientists to focus on the present and future of one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world.

Download or read book Balancing Trade and Security Relationships in the Asia Pacific written by Stephen Nagy and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan and China have engaged in seikei bunri (separation of politics and economics) relations to mutually benefit each other's economic development. The U.S. has contributed to the region's economic development through extensive security guarantees and by being the largest importer of goods from East Asia. In conjunction with China's quantitative eclipse of the Japanese economy and the growing interdependence between the Chinese and U.S. economies, China has become more capable of asserting its economic, political, and security interests within the region and globally increasing tensions within the region. Based on interviews with U.S., Japanese, and Chinese MOFA officials and business leaders, this paper argues that economic interdependence between the U.S., Japan, and China necessitates the advent of a trilateral seikei bunri relationship. Each state recognizes the complementary role that the others play in their economic development and security and, based on that understanding, they continue to promote economic integration through the promotion of participation in regional institutions, while striving to manage political disagreements through sustained yet quiet dialogue.

Download or read book Diaoyu Senkaku Islands Dispute Trilateral Policy Responses Between China Japan and the US written by Cassandra A. Olson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of Goudao, the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands Dispute sparked a series of protests in both China and Japan during the summer of 2012, followed by many maritime skirmishes and even threats of war breaking out between China and Japan. While this sovereignty dispute is primarily between China and Japan, due the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, the US finds itself in a difficult position caught between its security ally it must defend per treaty stipulations (Japan) and one of its greatest economic partners (China). This U.S. policy on the US-Japan Security Alliance impacts Sino-U.S. relations in a variety of ways and will continue to affect the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands dispute. Understanding this security relationship and its impact on US China relations can help both Chinese and US policy makers make better policy choices. The author surveyed Chinese students at Peking University to understand current Chinese opinions regarding how US-China bilateral relations have been affected by the US-Japan Security Alliance in the wake of Goudao and the 2012 escalation of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands dispute. While students in general felt that US-Japan Security Relations and Obama's Pivot to Asia Strategy both negatively impacted US-China relations, Chinese students were nevertheless hopeful about the future of US-China relations. In response to the survey results, the author also poses several policy alternatives, such as improving people-to-people interactions, improving media perceptions and biases, as well as using economic organizations as a foundation for communication and mutually beneficial economic cooperation.
