"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 Taiwan Strait. 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."--BOOK JACKET.
