Domestic Politics, International Bargaining and China's Territorial Disputes

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

This book is a groundbreaking analysis of China's territorial disputes, exploring the successes and failures of negotiations that have taken place between its three neighbors, namely India, Japan and Russia. By using Roberts 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 Asia-Pacific.
