Ebinger, C K

The interlocked economic and strategic patterns in the western Pacific are evaluated since the death of the region's most powerful figures, Chou En-Lai, Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao Tse-tung. U.S. security arrangements, traditionally in the past two decades firmly tied to Japan's defense policies, are now cast into doubt as a result of the People's Republic of China's oil potential and also the Soviet Union's efforts to exploit its own Asian fossil-fuel resources. Chapters covered in this monograph are: Petroleum Projects in the People's Republic of China; Japanese-Soviet Relations; Sino-Japanese Relations; The Taiwan Problem; and USSR-Littoral State Conflicts.
