'International relations is reinventing itself as global international relations. Contesting International Society in East Asia illustrates that the turn to global international relations is part of the present as well as the future. The editors have brought together influential theorists of the East Asian region to grasp how the region hangs together and also what makes it 'hang together differently'. This book will be warmly received by scholars and practitioners looking for more interpretive depth than is offered by the power shift narrative.' Tim Dunne, Professor and Executive Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The University of Queensland
'The editors and authors have produced an exceptionally coherent work and maintained the themes put forth at the start. The book is an illuminating application of the English School to the region and provides another tool to better understand the complexity of a diverse and multifaceted East Asia making an important contribution in both fields.' Terence Roehrig, Perspectives on Politics
