Rethinking the San Francisco system in Indo-Pacific security : enduring legacies, structural contradictions and geopolitical rivalry
Yoneyuki Sugita (Editor), Victor Teo (Editor)
This remarkable collection commemorates the 70th anniversary of the 1951 San Francisco Peace Conference by revisiting the important legacies of both the Peace Treaty and the US-Japan Security Treaty have had on the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific. Drawing on multiple perspectives, the volume conveys the hopes and fears that the authors have for the domestic and international politics of the region. In a post Trumpian world marked by the US-China tensions amidst a raging pandemic, the regions continued prosperity looks exceedingly grim. Yoneyuki Sugita is professor at Kobe Womens Junior College. He received his Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999. His major works include Japan's Shifting Status in the World and the Development of Japan's Health Insurance Systems (Springer, 2019) and, Pitfall or Panacea: The Irony of US Power in Occupied Japan 1945-1952 (Routledge, 2003). Victor Teo is Research Fellow associated with the Beyond Cold War Project based at the University of Cambridges Centre for Research of Arts Social Sciences and Humanities. His latest publication is Japans Arduous Rejuvenation as a Global Power: Democratic Resilience and the US-China Challenge (Palgrave Macmillan 2019)
