Since the unexpected end of the Cold War, standard arguments about power politics can no longer be adopted uncritically. This has led to a renewed interest in Japan's unusually peaceful security policy.
Japan's championing of "comprehensive security" is central to this collection. Peter J.

This book explores the contradictions that emerge in international statebuilding efforts in war-torn societies.

It tackles the question of change in a heterogeneous, incompletely modern international system from a perspective that draws on realism in stressing pragmatism in tactics and on liberalism in defining the ultimate goals of change. The book features a new introduction that explains the general...
