China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
This volume by Min Ye is focused on relations between China and South Korea and offers not simply a comprehensive and insightful analysis of this very important relationship but also how the changing dynamics of this relationship affects the international relations of Northeast Asia overall and what the changing dynamics of this relationship are likely to bring as this new century continues to unfold. It is a welcome addition to the literature on the international relations of Northeast Asia and offers a solid and thoughtful analysis of a relationship that is often reduced to its connection to the behavior of North Korea. As a result, it is required reading for scholars interested in Asian Security and the development of the region’s economy as well as for scholars interested in alliances and international relations in general.

Acknowledgments
China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
The major ideas presented in this book have been developed during my research on Chinese foreign policy and international relations in East Asia. There are many people to thank for helping me finish this project. First of all, I want to thank the Academy of Korean Studies. This work is supported by the Academy of Korean Studies grant funded by the Korean government (MEST) (AKS-2012-AAZ-2101).

Chapter One - A Brief Review of China–South Korea Relations
China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
Despite their close historical ties, cultural affinities, and geographic proximity, China and South Korea had been living in two dangerously hostile worlds for decades after the end of World War II. The iron curtain of the Cold War as well as the reminiscence of the atrocious Korean War (1951–1953) virtually blocked all direct contacts between the two countries. To make the situation even...

Chapter Two - Understanding the New Dynamics in China–South Korea Relations
China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
In many aspects, the process of China–South Korea rapprochement in the 1980s and diplomatic normalization in the early 1990s portrayed a textbook example of conventional diplomacy: leaders of the two nations carefully weighed the economic and political benefits and costs, cautiously controlled the pace and scope of their interactions, and finally clinched a deal after rounds of negotiations...

    Chapter Three - Economics-Politics Nexus between China and South Korea
    China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
    Of all those heatedly debated issues in China–South Korea relations, perhaps the most puzzling topic is the sharp contrast between their “hot” economic and relatively “chilly” political relations in recent years. As introduced in previous chapters, economic cooperation has always been the most active and positive force and constantly pushes the bilateral...

    Chapter Four - “Soft” Clashes in China–South Korea Relations
    China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
    Since the devastating Korean War, “hard” military conflicts have been largely absent in Sino–South Korean relations. Except for some extremely rare scenarios, military clashes can be generally ruled out as a concern for the foreseeable future. However, recent China–South Korea relations have been constantly plagued by what Chung (2009b) called “soft” clashes:...

    On June 1, 2015, delegates from China and South Korea finally concluded their negotiation and signed the China–South Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) in Seoul.

    Chapter Six - Balancing between Allies and Rivals
    China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
    So far, Sino–South Korean relations are analyzed without considering the external influences from other regional or global players. However, no bilateral relations develop in vacuum. This is particularly true for Sino–South Korean relations. As introduced in the first chapter, one of the main features of the bilateral relationship is its vulnerability to influences from third parties....

    China–South Korea Relations in the New Era
    Scholars and policy makers always warily watch China’s quick rise in the new century, worrying the looming power transition can end the long peace since the Second World War. On the other hand, the Chinese government repeatedly assures its neighbors and the whole world of China’s commitment to a peaceful rise. In this circumstance, Sino–South Korean relations function as a...
