It is the largest country in Asia and bordering the largest number of Asian countries, with the largest population, permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council and a recognised nuclear weapon state. Its geographical position in Asia provides it with unique privileges. It borders fourteen of the other 42 countries in Asia and others by land and with several other countries in maritime dimensions. China's emergence as a third largest economy in the world after the United States and Japan in 2008 is providing opportunities as well as challenges. Hence, its political/border interactions with these nearly half of the Asian states are crucial in explaining inter-state dynamics in the region. China's formulation of policies, their execution and implementation would be crucial for a number of states in Asia. The neighbouring countries' responses to these policies would also be crucial for China as well in evaluating the successes or failures of its adjustment with the neighbourhood. This book provides valuable insights on these issues, not only from India's point of view, but also from the point of view of Japan. The research and analysis has been assembled by renowned scholars from both countries and is of value to the academics, specialists, policy analysts, think tanks and all interested in studying the geo-strategic significance of China today.","PeriodicalId":406235,"journal":{"name":"The Causes of War","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134105670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

British History in Perspective. New York: Macmillan Press Ltd., 2000. Pp. v + 126, select bibliography, index. £42.50 (hardcover), £13.50 (paper). Macmillan's British History in Perspective series seeks to provide students and the general reader with synoptic overviews based on the most upto-date research and scholarship. In The Glorious Revolution, Eveline Cruickshanks makes two important contributions to the historiographical debate surrounding the removal of James II and his replacement by William and Mary. This short book is an exceptionally inclusive study of the revolution, both in terms of its review of the major interpretive traditions and in its integration of Irish and Scottish developments during the revolution. First and foremost, Cruickshanks reviews and rejects the \"Whig\" interpretation of the period 1685-1689, as first articulated by the nineteenthcentury historian T. B. Macaulay in his History of England since (he Accession of James II and later forwarded by C. H. Firth and G. M. Trevelyan. Trevelyan's The English Revolution, 1688-89 was first published in 1938, just a couple of years before a new generation of Marxist scholars, led by Christopher Hill, reset the terms of the debate for the middle decades of the twentieth century. According to Cruickshanks, both the Whig view of James as autocratie villain and the Marxist picture of the revolution as a bourgeoisie palace coup fail to appreciate the military and diplomatic side of William of Orange's invasion of the island kingdom. William was no monarch by popular demand; he neither guaranteed religious freedom nor provided for the triumph of parliament, as Whig scholars had insisted for three centuries. Rather, the invasion of England was part of a larger plan to appropriate the considerable military and financial resources of Britain in the conflict against Louis XIV. Cruickshanks endorses the interpretive efforts of Alice Pinkham, who was one of the first non-Marxists to question the \"Whig\" consensus in the 1950s, and Jonathan Israel, who has more recently set the Glorious Revolution within the wider context of military developments on the continent. There are fourteen chapters in this book of just over 100 pages, and the effort to include a background treatment of the long and eventful reign of Charles II (r. 1660-1685) is less than illuminating, but once the author turns to the reign of James II (1685-1688), the challenging interpretations begin to unfold. James, we learn, was something other than the aspiring absolutist seeking to model his administration along French lines while simultaneously denying the religious rights of Protestants. Instead, the new king was a genuine champion of religious toleration who sought to provide public employment and political rights without reference to church affiliation. …","PeriodicalId":406235,"journal":{"name":"The Causes of War","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131249555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
