Routledge Studies in the Modern History Competing Imperialisms in Northeast Asia: New Perspectives, 1894-1953, (Hardcover)

They contested and adopted many of the physical and rhetorical features of Old-World imperialism, mitigated by domestic political forces and deeply ingrained cultural and historical values.
