"The lost two decades" of Japan's economic power since the early
1990s have generated the image among scholars in the discipline of
international relations (IR) that Japan is no longer a significant
player. Hence, today's IR literature focuses on the rise of China.
Re-rising Japan: Its Strategic Power in International Relations
challenges this trend by showing up-to-date evidence that Japan is
still a major power in today's international relations where the
interests and power of the United States and China have
increasingly clashed over many issues. Indeed, since the Abe
cabinet re-emerged in December 2012, there has been growing
academic interest in Japan's bold monetary/financial/social
policies (Abenomics) and relatively assertive security policy.
Where is Japan heading, and what path has it taken since the 2000s?
This book responds to these questions. Re-rising Japan assembles
the latest studies on Japan written by today's young and energetic
scholars. It consists of three parts: (1) Geopolitics, (2) Domestic
Political-Social Norms and Values, and (3) Asian Regional
Integration and Institutionalizations. The individual chapters
reveal what power assets Japan has and their strength and weakness
in today's international relations. Readers will attain a complete
picture of Japan and its evolving new strategy in the decaying U.S.
unipolar system where China has been behaving as a revisionist
state.
