'The 1895 Venezuela crisis, the Franco-Prussian War, World War I – key events in the European and transatlantic historical experience have long shaped international relations theory. But what about the Ming invasion of Vietnam, the Qing unification, the 1894 Sino-Japanese War? In this innovative volume, Haggard and Kang argue that these and other key events in East Asian history belong in the IR canon in order for scholars to better understand world politics.'
