Identity and change in East Asian conflicts : the cases of China, Taiwan, and the Koreas

This book examines the changing national identities that are transforming East Asia - pushing China and Taiwan apart and toward a showdown, while propping up a weakened North Korea.

Horowitz, Heo, and Tan lead accomplished contributors in analyzing these dynamics and the U.S.'s policy response as it struggles to restrain both China and Taiwan, while South Korea resists U.S. efforts pressing for an end to the North's nuclear weapons program.
