T. Inoguchi & G. Ikenberry 
The Troubled Triangle 
Economic and Security Concerns for The United States, Japan, and China

The US, China, and Japan form a ‘troubled triangle, ‘ with each country negotiating its foreign policy toward the other two in response to economic and security pressures that operate as an interrelated duality. Written by international relations experts, this book examines how the three countries respond to this set of pressures and to each other.
