The San Francisco System and Its Legacies: Continuation

This book explores the key developments of the contentious political and security issues in the Asia-Pacific that share a common foundation in the post-war disposition of Japan, particularly the San Francisco Peace Treaty. These include both tangible and intangible issues, such as disputes over territories and "history" problems. Taking the San Francisco System as its conceptual grounding, the contributors examine how these issues developed and have remained contentious long after the San Francisco arrangements.
