National Identity and Japanese Revisionism
Kolmas connects the dots between national identity theory and Japanese revisionism in order to better understand and predict the direction of a changing Japan.
National Identity and Japanese Revisionism
Over the course of the twentieth century, Japan has experienced a radical shift in its self-perception. After World War II, Japan embraced a peaceful and anti-militarist identity, which was based on its war-prohibiting Constitution and the foreign policy of the Yoshida doctrine. For most of the twentieth century, this identity was unusually stable. In the last couple of decades, however, Japan’s self-perception and foreign policy seem to have changed. Tokyo has conducted a number of foreign policy actions as well as symbolic internal gestures that would have been unthinkable a few decades ago and that symbolize a new and more confident Japan. Japanese politicians – including Prime Minist...
Global Nationalism: Ideas, Movements And Dynamics In The Twenty-first Century
The twenty-first century is witnessing a truly transnational revival of a very old set of ideas. Despite romantic attachments to old symbols, these late modern nationalism movements are not simply replicas of the previous two waves of nationalism in the 1860s and 1920s. Nor is it true that today's nationalism movements want simply to return to the past and effect a nationalist 1930s-style retrenchment. From Putin's macho revivalism, through to Trump's shocking victory and Xi's strongman regionalism, nationalists engage with the economic context of our time and address issues born of globalization. Crucially, in their vision for international relations they seek the destruction of key interna...
Japan's Withdrawal from International Whaling Regulation
This book examines the impact and implications of Japan’s withdrawal from the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW), which came into effect in July 2019. In 1982 the International Whaling Commission (IWC) adopted a moratorium on commercial whaling which has been in effect ever since, despite the resistance of some countries, first and foremost Japan, Norway and Iceland, that engage in commercial whaling. As one of the key contributors to scientific research and funding, Japan’s withdrawal has the potential to have wide-ranging implications and this volume examines the impact of Japan’s withdrawal on the IWC itself, on the governance of whaling, and on indigenous...

현대 중국의 세계전략 3
‘시진핑·신시대’ 중국의 강대국화가 한중관계에 미칠 영향을 재조명하다 이 책은 중국공산당 성립 100주년을 계기로 그동안 중국 최고지도자의 사상과 이념에 따른 집권 시기별 중국의 한반도에 대한 인식의 형성과 변화 과정을 알아보고, 시진핑 시대의 사상과 이념이 투영되고 있는 ‘강대국화’가 한중 관계에 영향을 미칠 작용과 반작용은 무엇인지 한국의 시각에서 재조명했다. 그리고 동아시아 주도권을 둘러싼 미·중 전략 경쟁이 심화되는 국제정치의 현실을 반영하여, 한반도와 비슷한 지정학·지경학적 위치에 있는 남중국해(베트남)와 대만의 대중국 시각과 관점을 고찰하여 한반도에 주는 시사점을 제안했다. 또한 남중국해에서 전개되고 있는 중국의 ‘해양강국’ 전략이 한중관계에 미칠 갈등과 협력 방안을 국제법적 시각에서 정리했다. 이 책이 보다 합리적이고 객관적인 중국 연구방법을 모색하고 정책을 개발해 나가는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
Japan's Foreign Relations in Asia
Japan's Foreign Relations in Asia has been specifically designed to introduce students to Japan’s foreign relations in Asia since 1990, a period in which there have been dramatic developments in Japan, including the reinterpretation of the Constitution and expanded US–Japan defence cooperation. The geopolitical dynamics and implications of these new developments are profound and underscore the need for a new textbook on this subject. Covering not only the key regional players of China and the Koreas, this textbook also encompasses chapters on Japan’s relations with India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand, along with its multilateral engagement and initiatives. ...

Fully updated, revised and expanded, the fifth edition c...
EU–Japan Relations and the Crisis of Multilateralism
Presenting the history of relations between the European Union and Japan, this book explains the origins and significance of the momentous 2018 Economic Partnership Agreement and its parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement. Set within the historical context of the 1991 Hague Declaration and Action Plan of 2001, this book analyses the impact of recent background changes to the liberal trading order, the proliferation of free trade agreements, and uncertainty about role of the United States in the world on relations between Japan and the EU. Adopting a path-dependent approach, it illustrates how these agreements were reached as a result of growing patterns of cooperative behaviour between the...
