Abstract

In recent years, East Asian countries have faced numerous security threats, including territorial disputes in the East China Sea, the US-China conflict, and economic turmoil due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under such circumstances, a stable regional order and economic prosperity are crucial. This essay reviews three recent books that attempt to identify the distinct features of East Asian international relations and the main causes of regional instability. The first part of this essay addresses the main themes and contributions of each book, and o ers an evaluation of their implications. The second section focuses on two key themes touched on in each of the books: "China and East Asian regional order" and "history still matters." The conclusion presents the challenges to, and provides recommendations for, peaceful coexistence in East Asia. This review elucidates not only the distinct features of current Sino-Japanese relations and East Asia's international politics but also addresses the future of the region.

期刊介绍： Pacific Affairs has, over the years, celebrated and fostered a community of scholars and people active in the life of Asia and the Pacific. It has published scholarly articles of contemporary significance on Asia and the Pacific since 1928. Its initial incarnation from 1926 to 1928 was as a newsletter for the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR), but since May 1928, it has been published continuously as a quarterly under the same name. The IPR was a collaborative organization established in 1925 by leaders from several YMCA branches in the Asia Pacific, to “study the conditions of the Pacific people with a view to the improvement of their mutual relations.”
