Description

Examines international relations, power, and politics in contemporary Japan, with a particular focus on political, economic, and cultural relations with the United States and Asia. Emphasis is given to competing visions of: Japan's role in the world; Japan's national security; Japan's national identity; human rights and Japan; and Japan's response to contemporary global issues. These competing visions are viewed in the broader context of globalisation, rising nationalisms, and the legacies of imperialism.
