About this book
This book provides a comparative study of the strategies of great powers in the Asia-Pacific, namely, the United States, China and Japan, known as the Pacific Three. It examines the evolution of each power's strategic thinking and analyzes the three powers' respective foreign policies and internal debates in the policymaking process. It analyzes the three countries' conflict and cooperation from past to the present.
