5.0 out of 5 stars All aspects of Japan's foreign policy, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Japan's Foreign Policy After the Cold War: Coping with Change (Bureaucarcies, Pulbic Administration, and Public Policy) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent source for most aspects of Japan's foreign policy. It is an excellent place to start when researching the policy orientation of Japan. The sections are broken up into diplomatic style, economics, securiy, regional relations, and new trends. Unlike other books which deal with only a particular field, usually economics, Curtis makes sure to combine all aspects of Japan's foreign policy. However, in its quest to be all-encompasing it is is still hihg-quality and each section is written be specialists in that particular field. The author's of the individual articles are elequent and make cogent arguments with excellent data to back their assertions. Overall, this book is a must read for anyone curious about Japan's foreign policy or even an "expert" in the field.
