Japan and the World Since 1868 (International Relations and the Great Powers) [Paperback]

Michael A. Barnhart (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 1995 | ISBN-10: 0340528583 | ISBN-13: 978-0340528587 | Edition: 3rd

Japan's position as a major power in international affairs is recent, but the changes it has gone through during even so short a time have been immense. How to account for its progress from prudence, through folly, to present success is the enquiry at the core of Michael Barnhart's study. He provides a masterly account of the domestic pressures that often helped shape foreign policy, as well as an evaluation of the changing world order itself.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Brimming over with ideas...contains many good, thought-provoking passages. Barnhart has made the history of this period come alive and has explained it in all its complexity....A very useful addition to the current literature and can be highly recommended."--International History Review
