Japan's Peace-Building Diplomacy in Asia: Seeking a More Active Political Role: Routledge Security in Asia Pacific Series

Autor Peng Er Lam
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2011
The conventional portrayal of Japan’s role in international affairs is of a passive political player which – despite its position as the world’s second largest economic power – punches below its weight on the world stage: its foreign policy driven by Washington, mercantilism and constrained by domestic pacifism. This book examines Japan’s emerging identity as an important participant in conflict prevention and peace-building in Southeast and South Asia, demonstrating that Japan has increasingly sought a positive and active political role commensurate with its economic pre-eminence. The book considers Japanese involvement in many of the region’s most serious recent conflicts: including Japan’s part in the brokering and maintaining of peace in Cambodia, which in 1992 saw the first dispatch of troops abroad by Tokyo since the end of World War II, and the attempts to bring peace to Aceh, Sri Lanka, East Timor and Mindanao. The Japanese example, when compared with other countries prominent in the fields of conflict prevention, suggests that Tokyo – given its pacifist strategic culture – relies on diplomacy and Official Development Assistance rather than peace enforcement through military means. Overall, this book provides a lucid appraisal of Japan’s overall foreign policy, as well as its new role in conflict prevention and peace-building - analysing the reasons behind this shift towards an active international role and assessing the degree of success it has enjoyed.

Recenzii

'Students of all levels in particular will find the book accessible, digestible, and edifying.]...[a welcome contribution to what is turning out to be an excellent series.' - Hugo Dobson, Asian Affairs, March 2010
"Lam’s thoughtful, balanced and well-researched account will be the essential guide to scholars interested in this still-evolving work in progress." - David Martin Jones,  Pacific Affairs: Volume 83, No. 4 – December 2010
"This is a must-read book for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Japan's foreign and security policies.  It contains surprises even for experts well versed in Japanese foreign policy...In short, Lam brings a bird's-eye view from his perch in Singapore to understanding Japan's relationship with Southeast Asia while using his expertise in Japanese domestic politics to show how this influences foreign policy." - Paul Midford, Journal of Japanese Studies, 37:2 (2011)
