PALGRAVE SERIES IN ASIAN GERMAN STUDIES Series Editors: Joanne Miyang Cho and Lee M. Roberts Over the past twenty years, scholars have increasingly sought to place the history of Germany and Europe into a global and transnational context. While this renewed interest in German colonial and global history, most notably in Africa, has given rise to a considerable amount of new and fruitful research, scholars have recently also turned their attention to the equally rich field of German-East Asian, Southeastern, and South Asian interactions. This series contributes to the emerging field of Asian-German Studies by bringing together cutting-edge scholarship from international scholars in a variety of fields. It encourages the publication of works by specialists, globally, on the multifaceted dimensions of ties between the German-speaking world (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and German-speaking enclaves in Eastern Europe) and Asian countries over the past two centuries. Rejecting traditional notions of West and East as seemingly polar opposites (e.g., colonizer and colonized), the volumes in this series attempt to reconstruct the ways in which Germans and Asians have cooperated and negotiated the challenge of modernity in various fields; they have sought to cover a range of topics that combine the perspective of such disciplines as anthropology, comparative religion, economics, geography, history, human rights, literature, philosophy, politics, and more. Transnational Encounters between Germany and Japan: Perceptions of Partnership in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries edited by Joanne Miyang Cho, Lee M. Roberts, and Christian W. Spang (2016)
