"An important contribution to the understanding of the Sino-South Korean relationship and the implications for US policy." — Heike Hermanns, The China Journal
"[An] excellent and pioneering study... [that] will remain a very useful study for a long time." — Chae-Jin Lee, China Quarterly
"This book offers a refreshingly original, detached, non-American (South Korean) perspective . . . [and] should be considered required reading." — Samuel S. Kim, Pacific Affairs
"Chung writes with directness and clarity, moving smoothly between coverage of S. Korea’s bilateral relations with both China and the United States. " — James Matray, The International History Review
"An important contribution . . . well researched and clearly written." — Qiang Zhai, China Information
"Rarely does an international relations book fill as large a gap as does this timely and carefully researched volume. For all interested in how the Cold War ended in this region, Between Ally and Partner is likely to stand the test of time as the single most important contribution to the study of bilateral relations associated with the rise of China with important lessons on what the United States has been doing and can do." — Gilbert Rozman, Princeton University
"Over the 1990s, a silent revolution occurred in the international politics of northeast Asia as China and the Republic of Korea ended decades of mutual isolation and capitalized on shared interests. In Between Ally and Partner, Jae Ho Chung, South Korea's leading China specialist, explains how and why that revolution occurred and the implications for us all." — Richard Bush, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies, The Brookings Institution
"This volume is the definitive study on China's relations with the Korean peninsula since the 1970s. Concentrating in particular on the bourgeoning relationship between the Chinese and South Korean governments, societies, and business communities, Jae Ho Chung fully portrays the parameters of this relationship that has so transformed the dynamics of northeast Asia. The analysis is scholarly and careful, and the author works with multiple sources of data. Chung's study is required reading for all specialists and students of international politics in East Asia." — David Shambaugh, George Washington University
"Between Ally and Partner is a penetrating analysis of the important and growing relationship between South Korea and China. It is invaluable in helping to explore the complex dynamics in the region, and will become required reading for both policymakers and academics who care about the future of East Asian relations." — David C. Kang, Dartmouth College
