Japan and the IISS by Robert Ward
This book illuminates the evolution of Japanese strategic thinking since the 1960s against the background of JapanUK interaction.‘This notable book collects and considers important articles and speeches on strategic questions by Japanese prime ministers, diplomats, journalists and scholarsIt serves as a historical record of Japan’s evolving strategic thought over the past six decades. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in Japan’s transition since 1945 into a peaceful nation and then an international power as the sole Asian member of the G7; as well as Tokyo’s more recent geopolitical adaptations in response to China’s rise as an economic and military challenge.’
Professor Nishihara Masashi, former President, Research Institute for Peace and Security (RIPS) and former President, National Defense Academy
‘This authoritative work is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of Japanese strategic thought and how Japan sees itself in the world. The careful curation of articles from each era, alongside excellent introductory chapters, results in an engaging and insightful work. With the signing of the Hiroshima Accord, the work of the IISS and the deep understanding and knowledge codified in this work have never been more vital.’
Michael Rivera King, Chief Executive, The Japan Society
