Domestic Politics, International Bargaining and China's Territorial Disputes (Politics in Asia)

Domestic Politics, International Bargaining and China’s Territorial Disputes This book is a groundbreaking analysis of China’s territorial disputes, exploring the successes and failures of negotiations that have taken place between China and its neighbors, namely India, Japan, Russia, and countries in Southeast Asia. By using Robert Putnam’s two-level game framework, Chung relates the outcome of these disputes to the actions of domestic nationalist groups who have exploited these territorial issues to further their own objectives. By using first-class empirical data and applying it to existing theoretical concepts, Domestic Politics, International Bargaining and China's Territorial Disputes provides a detailed account of China’s land and maritime border disputes that is both clear and accessible. This book will be a very valuable resource for anyone interested in international relations, politics and the security of China and the Asia-Pacific.
