Japan's Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century Reviews

This collection of essays makes a persuasive case that Japanese policy, since the beginning of this century, is a story of important changes made while retaining continuity with the foreign policy strategy of the preceding decades. No less importantly, it introduces the reader to an international group of astute scholars and policy analysts with impressive insights about Japanese politics and foreign policy and its evolving role in the international system. -- Gerald Curtis, Columbia University
