SUMMARY:The Thucydides Trap: The Globalization of Competition Between China
  and Japan
DESCRIPTION:\n	Victor Teo (Assistant Professor\, Department of Japanese Stu
 dies\, the University of Hong Kong\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/Discuss
 ant: Ezra Vogel (Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences\, Emeritus\, H
 arvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Asia Center\n\n\n	One might t
 hink that it is only natural that Sino-Japanese relations are tense becaus
 e they fought a bitter war from 1937-1945. Assuming that is true\, it does
  not fully explain why Japan and the United States are such close allies\,
  given bitter struggle between the United States and Japan during the Seco
 nd World War.  After all\, it was the United States that dropped the bomb
 s on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed 300\,000 directly in the two citie
 s. Why do some former enemies become the best of friends whilst others rem
 ain contentious after decades? This talk will focus on the tempestuous rel
 ationship between China and Japan over the last two decades. Drawing from 
 the speaker’s forthcoming monograph\, the talk will examine the patterns
  and trends in the evolution of contemporary Sino-Japanese relations. Thro
 ugh a comparative framework of each nation’s political agenda\, the talk
  will touch on the prospects of co-operation and conflict between these tw
 o Asian giants in their bilateral interactions. The talk will also assess 
 the possible competition that is emerging between the two countries in Sou
 theast Asia and in the Middle East as Tokyo and Beijing seeks to expand th
 eir influence abroad\, and how this rivalry might be in turn tempered by t
 he changes we are seeing in international politics with the advent of the 
 Trump Administration.
