『International Politics of Triangular Relationship: China, Japan and Korean Peninsula』 academically scrutinizes the relationship between China, Japan, and Korea. Various bilateral relationship problems such as the North Korean nuclear problem, THAAD deployment, and ‘comfort women’ agreement have recently been Korea’s diplomatic issues. The author claims that a scrutinization of China, Japan, and Korea’s triangular relationship is needed to understand such political realities and to manage them effectively. The author applies social and political theories that deal with triangular relationships, examines the historical grounds for the triangular relationship, and tries to systematically analyze the current complex dynamics of the triangular relationship.
