Bøger af Ezra F. Vogel

No one in the twentieth century had a greater impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China's boldest strategist-the pragmatic, disciplined force behind China's radical economic, technological, and social transformation.

China and Japan have cultural and political connections that stretch back 1,500 years. But today they need to reset their strained relationship. Ezra Vogel underscores the need for Japan to offer a thorough apology for its atrocities during WWII, but he also urges China to recognize Japan as a potential vital partner in the region.

Vogel brings masterly insight to the underlying question of why Japan and the little dragons-Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore-have been so extraordinarily successful in industrializing while other developing countries have not.
