Description
Japan's Foreign Relations in Asia provides an in-depth introduction to Japan's foreign relations in Asia since 1990, covering significant developments such as the reinterpretation of the Constitution and expanded US-Japan defence cooperation. This period has seen profound geopolitical dynamics with far-reaching implications. The book explores Japan's relationships with key regional players, including China and the Koreas, as well as its engagement with India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. It also examines Japan's evolving security policy, maritime disputes, and soft power in Asia. Written by leading experts in an accessible style, this textbook is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Japanese politics, international relations, and foreign policy. Key themes are covered, including a historical overview of key post-war developments, analysis of the region's escalating maritime disputes, and evaluation of Japanese soft power in Asia.
