In Japan and the Security of Asia Louis Hayes studies modern
Japan's frustrated search for national security. The book charts
Japan's attempts to fashion its own place in the sun in the face of
Great Power interventionism and national demands for regional
hegemony: first through nascent internationalism and later
disastrous totalitarianism that culminated in war in the Pacific.
Hayes expertly tracks Japan's shifting foreign-policy goals up to
the present day, moving from the preservation of the nation-state
by force to the drive for economic self-aggrandizement as a Cold
War client of the United States. The book reveals to the student of
modern Asian history a twenty-first century Japan that has rejected
unarmed neutrality and is reasserting its security independence in
post-Cold War Asia.
