The 1980s have shown the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, to be economically vulnerable. The race to acquire the skills needed in the twenty-first century is led by the Japanese, and if the promise of a unified market, scheduled for 1992, is fulfilled, the European Community will become an even greater economic force. China has enlisted EC countries to aid her ambitions; her increasingly educated population and untapped natural resources make China an emerging superpower.
The book sets out to examine Sino-Japanese relations, especially since the re-establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Japan in 1972. Post-war political, economic, and cultural relations are placed in their historical context and the modernization processes in each country are compared.
First published in 1985, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
