Old Issues, New Responses: Japan's Foreign and Security Policy Options

by Masashi Nishihara, Nishihara Masashi
$13.90
Old Issues, New Responses: Japan's Foreign and Security Policy Options
Old Issues, New Responses: Japan's Foreign and Security Policy Options

Sharp policy ideas for Japan’s global role

This is a thoughtful pick if you like international relations grounded in real policy choices rather than abstract theory. It brings together Japanese scholarly voices on security, diplomacy, refugees, China, North Korea, and the U.S. alliance in a way that feels practical and forward-looking. Readers interested in East Asian politics will likely appreciate how it wrestles with difficult trade-offs instead of offering easy answers.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Recognizing the need for Japan to clearly articulate its position on foreign policy and security issues in an international context, six Japanese scholars examine Japan's foreign and security policy options for the 21st century and present new policy proposals. The authors address topics such as ways of improving Sino-Japanese political relations, the need to rectify Japan's plutonium policy, the importance of making relief for the growing number of refugees around the world a priority of Japan's official development assistance program, the need for a balance between economic sanctions and inducements vis-à-vis the closed regimes of China and North Korea, the necessity of flexible development and deployment of Japanese and U.S. theater missile defense systems to restrain China, and the importance for the Japan-U.S. alliance of coordinating the differences in the two countries' policies toward Iran.
