About this title

Synopsis

This is a careful study of how American policy in Asia originated and evolved in the 19th century, with China, Japan, and Korea at the center.

The book is based on original records and documentary sources, aiming to illuminate the origins and development of U.S. policy in Asia. It presents the human side of history, letting actors speak in their own words, and it examines a shared, cooperative approach to the Open Door idea from a Washington perspective. The author argues that cooperation—not isolation—shaped outcomes, while acknowledging that no nation escaped fault in the Far East question.

Across sessions from early diplomacy to the era of the Taiping Rebellion and the Open Door debates, the work surveys how policy was formed, pursued, and sometimes reversed by different powers. It follows figures such as Burlingame and the broader arc of American relations with China, Japan, and Korea, with attention to how competing interests and personalities affected cooperation.

How American policy began and why cooperation mattered as much as territory or prestige.
Key players, debates, and turning points in China, Japan, and Korea during the 19th century.
The tension between isolation and collaboration among Western powers and Asian states.
The enduring questions that shaped later East Asian diplomacy and policy.

Ideal for readers seeking historical context on U.S. East Asian policy and its lasting implications for international relations.
