Negotiating the U.S.-Japan Alliance

Japan Confidential

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first comprehensive and comparative analysis of the U.S. and Japanese foreign policy formulation and implementation processes from 1961 to 1978, which also explores the long-term strategic significance of the U.S. deterrence in East Asia. It is based on numerous declassified and previously unused U.S. and Japanese documents, oral histories, and the author's interviews with former officials. The book traces the origins of contemporary security and diplomatic issues back to the 1961-1978 U.S.-Japan negotiations involving secret arrangements in the reversion of Okinawa, Japan's defense build-up, including the question of Japan's nuclear option, and U.S.-Japan defense cooperation.
