Abstract:
For the nations on its borders, the rapid rise of China represents an opportunity--but it also brings worry, especially in areas that have long been disputed territories of contact and exchange. This book gathers contributors from a range of disciplines to look at how people in those areas are actively engaging in making relationships across the border, and how those interactions are shaping life in the region--and in the process helping to reconfigure the cultural and political landscape of post-Cold War Asia.
