This collection brings together themes in East Asian history, diplomacy, culture and politics written by J. E. Hoare since the early 1970s. His writings derive from his training as a historian, from his time as a Research Analyst in the British Foreign Office from 1969-2003, and from his experiences as a diplomat in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the People's Republic of China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). The writings selected for this volume include academic papers, book reviews and some quasi-journalistic articles which reflect both historical research and analysis of current events and issues. The wide-ranging content speaks to the author's specialist fields of interest including diplomacy, biography, extraterritoriality and architecture on which he has published extensively.
