This broad-based study of Western-Asian relations considers
images of and actions by the United States, along with Britain and
Germany, in the course of dealings with Asian nations such as
China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Other
case studies focus on inter-Asian relations between Japan and
Korea; China and Japan; and Thailand and Vietnam. The essays
encompass a wide range of recent scholarship, including cultural,
economic, demographic, and intellectual approaches to military and
diplomatic themes.
Western influence, primarily American, in Asia grew consistently
during the 20th century. While interaction often occurred on
unequal terms, this study reveals the ability of Asians to assert
their agency in the face of such immense Western power. The
collection as a whole offers a window on relations across the
Pacific in numerous spheres of activity over the course of one
hundred years. As such, it introduces and adds to our understanding
of the depth and variety of trans-Pacific relations.
