Bridging the Atomic Divide
This book is the English translation of a collaborative work published in Japanese in 2015 by the late Harry Wray, a long-term resident of Japan and professor of education history, and Sugihara Seishiro, a former history professor at Josai University. The book sets out to examine the various debates surrounding the dropping of the atomic bomb from both the American and Japanese sides. In his preface, Sugihara promotes the book as ‘the first genui…
Godzilla vs Pulgasari
South Korea's persistent enmity towards its erstwhile colonizer Japan has been a compelling topic of East Asian international relations scholarship for decades. This article argues that the historical evolution of South Korea's democracy offers a vital and overlooked piece of this puzzle. Given that it emerged from one of the most virulently anti-communist dictatorships of the Cold War period, in a society facing an ongoing threat from communist …
The abyss gazes back
This article examines the ways in which the North Korean regime filters and re-interprets various ‘messages’ from the outside world for its domestic audience through the lens of state-produced literature.

This article addresses that gap by examining diplomacy, war, and domestic politics in the premodern Vietnam–China relationship under the hierarchic tributary system. Specifically, we construct a unique data set of over 1,200…
Measuring War in Early Modern East Asia, 1368–1841
How much war was there in early modern East Asia? This article empirically corroborates characterizations of relations between Sinic East Asian polities as being unusually peaceful and stable, which we attribute to the participants’ shared subscription to a common and accepted hierarchy framed by a Confucian worldview. More broadly, we provide direct empirical evidence that international hierarchies derive their stability from cultural consensus …
