"Empires on the Waterfront offers a new spatial framework for understanding Japan's extended transition into the modern world of nation-states. This study examines a largely unacknowledged system of "special trading ports" that operated under full Japanese jurisdiction in the shadow of the better-known treaty ports. By allowing Japan to circumvent conditions imposed on treaty ports, the special trading ports were key to achieving autonomy and regional power."--Publisher's description.
