Více o knize

The book explores Japan's quest for great power status and its implications for security, democracy, and foreign relations. It contextualizes contemporary policies, particularly under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as part of a long-standing effort to maintain autonomy and enhance national interests. The author argues for constructive Japan-China relations through collaborative projects, suggesting that improved ties could benefit the US-Japan alliance. Ultimately, it posits that Japan's increased autonomy could lead to a more balanced foreign policy and a stronger position as a global power.
