In their three thousand years of interaction, China and Vietnam
have been through a full range of relationships. Twenty-five years
ago they were one another's worst enemies; fifty years ago they
were the closest of comrades. Five hundred years ago they each saw
themselves as Confucian empires; fifteen hundred years ago Vietnam
was a part of China. Throughout all these fluctuations the one
constant has been that China is always the larger power, and
Vietnam the smaller. China has rarely been able to dominate
Vietnam, and yet the relationship is shaped by its asymmetry. The
Sino-Vietnamese relationship provides the perfect ground for
developing and exploring the effects of asymmetry on international
relations. Womack develops his theory in conjunction with an
original analysis of the interaction between China and Vietnam from
the Bronze Age to the present.
