’This book is original, very well-written and persuasive. The scope of the book is also very impressive. It covers the interaction of China and Japan in multilateral processes and institutions not only in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia but also central Asia and the South Pacific too. The scholarship is magisterial, sound and balanced' LAM Peng Er, National University of Singapore, Republic of Singapore ’At a time when China-Japan relations are at their worst since 1945, Professor Chung has provided a timely, balanced and exhaustive study of how the two have competed for regional leadership in Asia. It is a must-read for all interested in the future of the Asia-Pacific, the most important region in the world today.’ Andrew T.H. Tan, University of New South Wales, Australia ’Professor Chung offers a refreshing account of Sino-Japanese relations by placing them in the context of political and economic integration in Asia. His knowledge of region and his analytical power are in full display when he charts the twists and turns of the rivalries, competition, and cooperation between China and Japan. The result is a succinct, balanced, and up-to-date study of their integration into Asia-Pacific multilateralism since the end of the Cold War.’ Gerald Chan, University of Auckland, New Zealand
