Download or read book Japan and Greater China written by Greg Austin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a comprehensive analysis of the political and strategic relationship between Japan and China, each of which in important respects aspires to a global status commensurate with its economic and military might. These two great powers have to come to terms with a history of antagonism, each viewing the other as circumspectly as their small regional neighbors view them. Japan and Greater China reviews the domestic and international foundations of the foreign policies of the two countries, notably the politics of national identity. The strategic and economic underpinnings of the relationship are assessed not exclusively by reference to bilateral concerns but within the global and regional position and interests of the two powers.
Download or read book Japan s Asia Policy written by Wolf Mendl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a timely and expert analysis of Japan's Asia policy as the country continues to address the future through trying to cope with the burden of a chequered past. Dr Mendl locates his expostion of Japan's policy towards both North-East and South-East Asia in a full historical and cultural context and importantly takes due account of the underlying and potent factor of national identity in shaping international outlook. He begins his study with a discussion of the enigma of Japanese policy expressed in debate over whether or not that policy expresses a calculated grand design. A corresponding enigma emerges in Dr Mendl's exposition of Japan's policy towards a part of the world with which it shares a geographical location and a measure of identity but one which, he maintains, cannot be separated from its engagement at the global level. In exploring the theme of how Japan is confronted by the problem of reconcling its relations with Asia with pursuing a global role in unchartered post-Cold War waters, Dr.Mendl makes a lucid and scholarly contribution to the debate about Japan's place in a world which it has helped to shape through its economic performance and example.

Download or read book Network Power written by Peter J. Katzenstein and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines regional dynamics in contemporary east and southeast Asia, scrutinizing the effects of Japanese dominance on the politics, economics, and cultures of the area. The contributors ask whether Japan has now attained, through sheer economic power and its political and cultural consequences, the predominance it once sought by overtly military means. The discussion is framed by the profound changes of the past decade. Since the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union, regional dynamics increasingly shape international and national developments. This volume places Japan's role in Asian regionalism in a broader comparative perspective with European regionalism and the role Germany plays. It assesses the competitive logics of continental and coastal primacy in China. In starkest form, the question addressed is whether Chinese or Japanese domination of the Asian region is more likely. Between a neo-mercantilist emphasis on the world's movement toward relatively closed regional blocs and an opposing liberal view that global markets are creating convergent pressures across all national boundaries and regional divides, this book takes a middle position. Asian regionalism is identified by two intersecting developments: Japanese economic penetration of Asian supplier networks through a system of production alliances, and the emergence of a pan-Pacific trading region that includes both Asia and North America. The contributors emphasize factors that are creating an Asia marked by multiple centers of influence, including China and the United States.
Download or read book Economic Diplomacy written by Maaike Okano-Heijmans and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by Maaike Okano-Heijmans makes an important contribution to the concept of economic diplomacy. A conceptual-study mode of economic diplomacy is combined with applied analysis of Japan’s economic diplomacy practice. The two approaches reinforce one another, yielding a conceptualization of economic diplomacy that is grounded in practical insights. A comprehensive approach A core argument in the book is that economic diplomacy, strategically, affirms that economic/commercial interests and political interests reinforce one another and should thus be seen in tandem. This contrasts with the predominant approach in the transatlantic world, which attaches relatively greater importance to the military–economic linkage in the quest for influence. The case of Japan Japan has employed economic diplomacy as a central instrument of its foreign policy and quest for national security since the post-war period. The reconfiguration of regional and global power that started in the 1990s encouraged the Japanese government, in coordination and cooperation with the private sector, to reassess its economic diplomacy policy. Power shifts Economic Diplomacy: Japan and the Balance of National Interests illuminates the debates underlying these shifts, the various ways by which Japan’s reinvention of its economic diplomacy is implemented, and the consequences for Japanese foreign policy at large. Practical relevance The critical insights offered by the examination of Japan are pertinent for Western countries, as well as for other East Asian nations. They will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of diplomacy, international relations and international economic law and policy. This book is the ninth volume in the Diplomatic Studies series, edited by Jan Melissen and published by Brill, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. For more information see brill.com/economic-diplomacy-0.

Marc Lanteigne, East Asia An International Quarterly . . . this book is strongly recommended reading for everyone interested in Japan China relations, leadership, and East Asia. It proves that looking at complex issues from a variety of angles does bring a much deeper understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Marie Söderberg, Journal of Japanese Studies This book addresses one of the most intriguing but also under-researched issues of the future of the Asian strategic landscape: who will lead the region and replace US leadership, Japan and China, and what kind of leadership do we have to expect? The authors come to the conclusion that it is a matrix or combination of leadership options rather than a single leadership type, depending on issue domains, governance structure and geospatial scales. . . The conclusions by Christopher Dent admirably draw the theoretical and empirical issues together. Reinhard Drifte, Pacific Affairs This book considers themes, evidence and ideas relating to the prospects for regional leadership in East Asia, with particular reference to China and Japan assuming regional leader actor roles. Key issues discussed by the list of distinguished contributors include: the extent to which there is an East Asian region to lead China Japan relations different aspects of Japan and China s positions in the East Asia region how the seemingly inexorable rise of China is being addressed within the region how China and Japan have explored paths of regional leadership through certain regional and multilateral organisations and frameworks the position of certain intermediary powers (i.e. the United States and Korea) with regards to regional leadership diplomacy in East Asia. Invaluably, the concluding chapter brings together the main findings of the book and presents new analytical approaches for studying the nature of, and prospects for leadership in East Asia. China, Japan and Regional Leadership in East Asia will be essential reading for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers of international relations, regional studies, international political economy and economics as well as Asian and development studies.

Download or read book Japan and the Pacific Quadrille written by Herbert J. Ellison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationships between Japan, China, the United States, and the Soviet Union-among the most important power relationships in the contemporary world-have undergone pervasive and dramatic transformation during the past 15 years. China emerged from diplomatic isolation and the convulsions of the Cultural Revolution to define a new course in domestic policy and to take an active role in Asia and the world. The Soviet Union has become a global superpower, having built a formidable new regional military and naval presence that challenges the security and interests of the other powers, testing regional alliance structures. The United States-initially the dominant power in the region-is facing increasing economic competition from Japan and military competition from the Soviet Union. Each of these changes has brought new opportunities for Japan, whose spectacular economic expansion was one of the major factors in the changing Asian power structure. None of the many complex questions about the modern Asian scene are more important than those concerning Japan's future policies: How will its new economic power be applied? how will it deal with the opportunity for a new relationship with China? and how will Soviet military expansion affect Japanese security policy, the vital issues of arms and Japan's security relationship with the United States in particular?

Download or read book Japan and the Third World written by William R. Nester and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1945, Japan's policymakers have viewed geoeconomic rather than geopolitical influence as the most important source of power in an increasingly interdependent world political economy. Japanese policy toward the Third World is a vital part of its neomercantilist drive to transform Japan into an economic superpower and ensure Japan's comprehensive security. Essentially, Tokyo's Third World policy attempts to diversify Japan's foreign sources of markets, energy, and raw materials as widely as possible while making those sources dependent on Japanese goods, services, technology and capital. Tokyo concentrates on economically and politically penetrating and eventually dominating Third World countries while avoiding taking sides in regional conflicts. Increasingly Tokyo plays a diplomatic go-between role in regional conflicts which allows Japan to continue trading with both sides. Japanese aid remains overwhelmingly tied to sales of Japanese goods and services in the recipient country while lavish "gifts" to that country's political economic elite ensure policies beneficial to Japan. Japan and the Third World analyzes the range of means whereby Tokyo entangles strategic Third World countries and regions into an integrated global political economic web generating enormous wealth and power for Japan.
