Opis

Tracing Japanese foreign aid to Africa during and after the Cold War, this book examines how the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) process sits at the intersection of international relations and domestic decision making. Taking Angola and Mozambique as case studies, the book explores how Japan’s development cooperation with Africa has assisted previously war torn states transition from war to peace, and demonstrates the centrality of human security to Japanese foreign policy as a means of ensuring sustainable development.
