Know about the book -

The League of Nations and the East Asian Imperial Order, 1920–1946 is written by Harumi Goto-Shibata and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9811549680 (ISBN 10) and 9789811549687 (ISBN 13).

Well-grounded on abundant Japanese language sources which have been underused, this book uncovers the League of Nations’ works in East Asia in the inter-war period. By researching the field of social and other technical issues, namely, the trade in narcotics, the trafficking of women and the work in terms of improving health provision and providing economic advice to Nationalist China, it not only examines their long-term impacts on the international relations in the region but also argues that the League’s works challenged the existing imperial order of East and Southeast Asia. The book offers a key read for academics and students of international history and international relations, and others studying Japan or East Asia in the twentieth century.
