This new collection explores the origins and key issues of the
Third Indochina War, which began in 1979.
Drawing on unique documentation from all sides, leading
contributors reinterpret and demystify the long-term and immediate
causes of the Vietnamese-Cambodian and Sino-Vietnamese conflicts.
They closely examine how both the links between policies and policy
assumptions in the countries involved, and the dynamics - national,
regional and international - drove them towards war. Rather than
explaining the conflicts as determined by age-old resentments and
suspicions or seeing war between the former allies as the necessary
outcome of the conflicts of the 1970s, the contributors to this
volume look at the concrete causes for the breakdown in cooperation
and the road to war.
This volume includes even-handed assessments of the roles of the
major players, including a look at the beginnings of Thai-Chinese
military cooperation in support of the Khmer Rouge. The subjects
covered remain highly relevant to inter-state relations in South
East Asia, where border issues are still a cause of tension. An
updated chronology of events leading to the outbreak of hostilities
is also included.
This book will be of immense interest to all students of the
Third Indochina War, Southeast Asian history and of international
relations and war studies in general.
