The Problem of Asia and Its Effect Upon International Policies (Classic Reprint)

Preface The determination of these distinct factors, in a present question of great moment, and, so far as may be, the investigation of their mutual relations, are the objects of the present study. The first paperT heP roblem of Asia aims at the selection and exposition of the great permanent features. It was nearly completed, in its three chapters, by the first of the current year 1900; and therefore antedates entirely the recent outbreaks inC hina, although the causes of these were doubtless operative some time before. The second paper, Effect of Asiatic Conditions upon World Policies, written in A ugust, attempts to trace the influences that will be exerted by the permanent features, previously noted, upon the passing political conditions, under which present policies have to take shape. The insertion of the third paper Merits of the Transvaal Dispute has been an afterthought.
