Japan's Foreign Policy in an Era of Global Change

Inoguchi (political science, U. of Tokyo) analyzes Japan's current foreign policy as the domestic and international underpinnings of the country seem to be eroding. He considers the domestic foundations; Japan's conception of its place in the world; responses to European unity, the end of the Cold War, and the Gulf War; GATT; and the evolution of foreign relations since 1945. The nine essays have been previously published in journals or anthologies. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
