At the conclusion of WWII, no part of the world experienced a more
dramatic transformation than East Asia. The region's political
stability throughout the postwar period prompted exponential
economic growth that ultimately established South Korea, Japan, and
China as East Asia's most important powers. While many citizens of
these nations now live in a time of unprecedented prosperity, the
arrangement that supported this region's transformation is fragile.
With the second largest economy and a burgeoning military sector,
China is widely acknowledged as the preeminent rising world power.
The onus of maintaining balance in the region now rests primarily
with South Korea and Japan in partnership with the United States.
However, because of long-standing weaknesses in South Korea–Japan
relations and an inconsistent US commitment to the region, the
possibility that China could usher in a more uncertain era of
revisionism has never been more likely. In Strengthening South
Korea-Japan Relations: East Asia's International Order and a Rising
China, Dennis Patterson and Jangsup Choi address the historical
roots of this weak alliance. Combining decades of research with
current public opinion data, the authors warn that the tendency of
these nations to rely on the United States to maintain the status
quo has become dangerously unstable. A new strategy, one of
cooperation and collaboration, is needed to prevent China from
upending the region's current liberal international order.
