Japan's Asian Policy" gives a timely, rich and balanced account of Japan's renewed foreign policy toward its neighbors and of its neighbors's responses. Japan's diplomatic focus on the United States for the last half of a century and its difficulty with its own historical past has been a hindrance to its effort to construct a friendly and cooperative relationship with its Asian neighbors. Yet the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 led Japan to enhance its Asian links. Japan wanted to make best use of its steadily decreasing resources in order to help the region to recover and restore stability and vigor. The contributions in this collection explore Japan's decision to go Asian and the subsequent impact this shift has had on Japanese foreign policy in general.
