From the founding of the Ming dynasty in 1368 to the start of the Opium Wars in 1841, China has engaged in only two large-scale conflicts with its principal neighbors, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. These four territorial and centralized states have otherwise fostered peaceful and long-lasting relationships with one another, and as they have grown more powerful, the atmosphere around them has stabilized.
Focusing on the role of the "tribute system" in maintaining stability in East Asia and in fostering diplomatic and commercial exchange, Kang contrasts this history against the example of Europe and the East Asian states' skirmishes with nomadic peoples to the north and west. Although China has been the unquestioned hegemon in the region, with other political units always considered secondary, the tributary order entailed military, cultural, and economic dimensions that afforded its participants immense latitude. Europe's "Westphalian" system, on the other hand, was based on formal equality among states and balance-of-power politics, resulting in incessant interstate conflict.
Scholars tend to view Europe's experience as universal, but Kang upends this tradition, emphasizing East Asia's formal hierarchy as an international system with its own history and character. This approach not only recasts our understanding of East Asian relations but also defines a model that applies to other hegemonies outside the European order.

有評論說本書史實錯誤較多,可對於業餘讀者而言,本書的論述還是讓人耳目一新的。在西方歪風傳到東亞之前,中、日、韓、越諸國大體上相安無事,基於朝貢體製的外交關係讓各國互貿互利,儒傢文化更是讓各國的價值觀趨於一同,倒是西風一吹,讓各國不再淡定,特彆是民族主義勢頭...
評分觀點還是挺鮮明的。感覺研究東亞各國關係史最大的麻煩就是是否能找齣一個完全覆蓋住所有時期所有事例的框架,也就是說,總是有例外齣現。不過曆史本身就是流動的,朝貢體製就像一件外衣,不可能時時都符閤體型。 個人比較贊同東亞各國(尤其是網絡上)有關曆史文化的爭論與衝突...

Looks who just discovered America in 2010! 要講曆史卻毫無曆史觀,對曆史事件的解讀太膚淺。我可以接受隻講四國之間的關係,但即使是四國間的變數也已經大到他的理論無法解釋,更不用說要apply到整個東亞。在分析壬辰之後的日本對朝心態時竟然引用韓國學者的結論。
評分stability of hierarchy
評分沒看之前就覺得扯淡,看完更覺得是扯淡。一個自承開始項目前連基本常識都不懂的學者,還是算瞭

評分好問題好框架,但迴答得不深入,範圍過大。最大的缺陷是把和遊牧民族的衝突作為外生變量,開頭說江憶恩不對,後來發現不能自圓其說瞭,又說江有道理……
