From War to Diplomatic Parity in Eleventh-Century China: Sung's Foreign Relations with Kitan Liao

by David Curtis Wright

This study of relations between Sung China (960-1279) and Kitan Liao (916-1125), a state on Sung's northern border, is both a military and diplomatic history and a history of diplomacy.
Its first chapters historically contextualise the equality of Sung-Liao diplomacy and narrate how, during the late tenth and early eleventh centuries, the two states fought each other to a standstill before concluding peace at Shan-y?an in 1005.
