China shares borders and asserts vast maritime claims with over a dozen countries, and it has had boundary disputes with nearly all of them – often rejecting the location of boundary lines or arguing they weren’t legally established by treaties or historical documents. Yet in the 1960s, when tensions were escalating with the Soviet Union, India, and the United States, China moved to conclude boundary agreements with these neighbours peacefully. In this wide-ranging study of China’s boundary disputes and settlements, Eric Hyer uncovers a legacy not in keeping with the fearful image of China on the world stage. Rather, he finds the country’s territorial negotiations have been pragmatic and strategic, with China demonstrating willingness to compromise and even forgo historical claims in order to establish legitimate boundaries. This behaviour in earlier periods is pertinent to the ongoing territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas. The Pragmatic Dragon analyzes these disputes and the strategic rationale behind China’s behaviour. As China’s presence in world politics continues to grow, this book provides important insights and new perspectives on its foreign policy. | The Pragmatic Dragon by Eric Hyer, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
