EU-Japan Relations, 1970-2012 by Jrn Keck

This book presents a comprehensive overview of EU-Japan relations from 1970 to the present. It charts developments over the period, analyses key specific areas of importance to the relationship, and concludes by assessing how the relationship is likely to develop going forward. Throughout, the book discusses the factors on both sides which motivate the relationship, including Japan’s concern to secure markets for its advanced industrial products, and the factors motivating current negotiations for a deeper and more comprehensive economic and cooperative partnership.

"This book provides a comprehensive and detailed review of the fifty years of EU-Japan relationsIt is instructive since it also offers case studies of several trade disputes, which gives useful insights into how trade friction can be resolved [...] Overall, this book can be highly recommended as essential read for business and management researchers and practitioners who are both interested in and influenced by the EU as well as developments in Japan’s economy and politics, as the current trends in what western commentators refer to loosely as ‘Abenomics’ or the policies espoused by the government led by Japan’s current Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe. The book should also find an appreciative audience among scholars researching international relations and trade policy in Europe and across the Asia-Pacific region. In the light of future FTA/EPA negotiations between the EU and Japan, this book can also be recommended as instructive reading for future international negotiators and others seeking bi-lateral diplomatic responsibilities along with international trade opportunities." - Eva Hanada, Kobe University, Japan

"…recommended reading for anyone who wants deeper knowledge of the past, present and future In Asia and the rest of the world."- Marie Söderberg The European Institute of Japanese Studies, Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, Sweden
