Few regions are as potentially explosive and as likely to pose so serious a threat to international security as East Asia. This new volume explores the sources and manifestations of such tensions, with a special focus on the key relationship between China and Taiwan.

The following core themes are examined in detail:

• general and NGO approaches to third party mediation in conflict situations
• regional conflict management approaches in East Asia
• third party interventions in the context of Beijing-Taipei.

The Korean Peninsula, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea are all complex issues that need careful conflict management. The editors of this book examine third-party mediation experiences from both theoretical and historical/practical perspectives, arguing that third party mediation is of great significance for regional peace and stability in East Asia, especially the important case of Taiwan-China.

Conflict Management, Security and Intervention in East Asia will be of interest to students of regional security, peace studies, conflict studies and international relations.
