Book Description:

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. Contributors analyze 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 toward an end to the North's nuclear weapons program.
