This edited volume examines the sources, manifestations and management of conflict in East Asia, which contains many of the world's conflict flashpoints, such as the Korean Peninsula and the China-Taiwan Strait.
In particular, the book will elaborate on the following themes:
- general and NGO approaches to third-party mediation in conflict situations;
- regional conflict management approaches in East Asia; and
- third-party interventions in the context of Beijing-Taipei.
The volume examines third-party mediation experiences from both theoretical and historical/practical perspectives, arguing that mediation is of great significance for regional peace and stability in East Asia, with a focus on the important case of Taiwan-China.
This book will be of interest to students of regional security, Asian studies, peace studies, conflict studies and international relations.
