"Essentially, the book covers the Western impact on the Far East and the Eastern response in the 19th and 20th centuries.  While international relations are given appropriate emphasis, they do not overshadow the more fundamental factors of institutions and ideas, Eastern and Western, as these have clashed in the past one hundred and fifty years."
