Written by a former diplomat who was deeply involved in major issues of postwar Japanese foreign policy, this revised, expanded and updated third edition of Japan's Foreign Policy provides fascinating insider views on Japanese foreign policy from WWII to the present. A careful analysis can be found on, e.g., bilateral relations with the US, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Russia, Europe and the Middle East as well as multilateral diplomacy. This revised edition explains how and why Japan is developing a more proactive foreign policy and pays special attention to vital policy issues which led to the formation of a new government in 2009. Its clear writing style makes it accessible to any reader who takes a keen interest in modern Japan.
