The twentieth century is as remarkable for its world wars as it is
for its efforts to outlaw war in international and constitutional
law and politics. Japan in the World examines some of these efforts
through the life and work of Shidehara Kijuro, who was active as
diplomat and statesman between 1896 until his death in 1951.
Shidehara is seen as a guiding thread running through the first
five decades of the twentieth century. Through the 1920s until the
beginning of the 1930s, his foreign policy shaped Japan's place
within the community of nations. The positive role Japan played in
international relations and the high esteem in which it was held at
that time goes largely to his credit. As Prime Minister and "man of
the hour" after the Second World War, he had a hand in shaping the
new beginning for post-war Japan, instituting policies that would
start his country on a path to peace and prosperity. Accessing
previously unpublished archival materials, Schlichtmann examines
the work of this pacifist statesman, situating Shidehara within the
context of twentieth century statecraft and international politics.
While it was an age of devastating total wars that took a vast toll
of civilian lives, the politics and diplomatic history between 1899
and 1949 also saw the light of new developments in international
and constitutional law to curtail state sovereignty and reach a
peaceful order of international affairs. Japan in the World is an
essential resource for understanding that nation's contributions to
these world-changing developments.
