Více o knize

Employing a comparative framework, the book analyzes Germany's and Japan's foreign policy trajectories after the Cold War. It utilizes qualitative content analysis of key speeches to explore national role conceptions and policymakers' perceived responsibilities. Through case studies on missile defense policies and textbook disputes, the study challenges the notion that these nations are diverging significantly in their foreign policy behaviors, providing a nuanced understanding of their regional roles and actions.
