Opis

Australia's relationship with Japan has often been seen in just trade and economic terms. In fact, there is a long history of political exchange and co-operation since the 1950s, that has led to a close alignment of political and security interests that have helped shape the Asia-Pacific region. In this volume, the author examines the renewal of post-war contacts between the two countries and the resolution of war-time issues in the 1950s. He aims to show how some major bilateral negotiations highlight the tensions involved in forging a strong relationship, while extensive analysis of the machinery of diplomacy (the administrative, political and legal framework) indicates the depth of bilateral ties. Also covered are the close consultation and diplomatic dealings over the decades and the personal connections between leaders.
