Japan's Foreign Policy

In 1960 the Japan-United States security treaty was rewritten amid controversy and rancor. In the years since, Japan has astonished the world with her comeback from the status of defeated nation to a major industrial nation. This book is a detailed study of Japan's foreign policy which guided the nation in its resurgence. Five years in the preparation, the book examines the three main pillars of Japanese foreign policy: national prosperity, national security and recognition of Japan as an international power. The author's detailed knowledge of Japanese domestic politics provides the essential background for an understanding of the nation's pursuit of its foreign objectives.

Japan is Canada's most important overseas trading partner, yet the backgound of this relationship is comparatively unknown to most Canadians. In order to bridge this gap, the author surveys Canadian foreign policy aims towards Japan since WWII with emphasis on the development of economic ties. He illustrates the role of major departments, ministries, diplomats, businessmen, and other leading participants and the processess by which these aims succeeded or failed. This objective analysis will prove a valuable reference source for students, officials, bureaucrats, historians, businessmen and women, journalists, and all those interested not only in economic relations between Canada and Japan but also in the way foreign policy is formulated in Canada.
