One Alliance,
Two Lenses
U.S.-Korea Relations
in a New Era
Gi-Wook Shin
One Alliance, Two Lenses
examines U.S.-Korea relations
in a short but dramatic period
(1992–2003). Shin argues that
U.S.-ROK relations, linked
to the issue of national identity
for Koreans, are largely
treated as a matter of policy
for Americans—a difference
stemming from each nation's
relative power and role in the
international system. Offering
rich empirical data and analysis,
Shin also presents policy
suggestions to improve the
countries’ critically important
relationship.
“Shin unearths a fundamental
mismatch in the ways Koreans
and Americans see their relationship.
Understanding the
mismatch would help us better
grasp, and hopefully improve,
a relationship that remains
vital to the region’s peace and
prosperity.”

In Defense
of Japan
From the Market
to the Military in
Space Policy
Saadia M. Pekkanen and
Paul Kallender-Umezu
In Defense of Japan provides
the first complete, up-to-date,
English-language account of
the history, politics, and policy
of Japan's strategic space development.
It shows that Japan’s
market-to-military moves
already mark it as an advanced
military space power.
“Draws together extensive coverage
of developments in Japan's
space industry—both from the
government and the corporate
side—with a broad treatment of
government reform and Japan's
evolving security policy.”

Allies yet Rivals
International Politics
in 18th Century
Europe
Marco Cesa
This book provides a typology
of alliances that distinguishes
four possible types and sheds
light on interallied relations,
indicating their causes and
effects. Historical case studies
from 18th-century Europe,
beginning with the War of the
Spanish Succession and proceeding
chronologically until
the eve of the French Revolution,
offer readers an overview
of almost the entire century.
“Marco Cesa breaks new ground
in exploring the dynamics of
alliance formation from a domestic
perspective, drawing on
classical European political theory
and historical case studies
to arrive at important insights
about interstate association.
His work is at the cutting edge
of contemporary international
relations scholarship in the realist
tradition.”
