U.S. Leadership, History, and Bilateral Relations in
Northeast Asia
Whereas most discussions of history have centered on the rift between
China and Japan, this book focuses on three other divisions stem-
ming from deep-seated memories within Northern Asia, which increas-
ingly will test U.S. diplomacy and academic analysis. The first division
involves long-suppressed Japanese and South Korean memories that are
critical of U.S. behavior – concerning issues such as the atomic bomb-
ings, the Tokyo Tribunal, and the Korean War. How should the United
States respond as these memories come out into the open, complicat-
ing vital bilateral alliances? The second division is the enduring dis-
agreement between Japan and South Korea over history. What can the
United States do to invigorate urgently needed trilateral ties? The third
and most important division is the revival of a sinocentric worldview,
which foretells a struggle between China and other countries concern-
ing history, one that has already begun in China’s dispute with South
Korea and is likely to implicate the United States above all. Present-
ing three perspectives on each theme, the book launches a multisided
discussion of the importance of history in international relations.
Gilbert Rozman received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1971,
where he has taught since that time. His books and articles concern four
countries in Northeast Asia: China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea.
