The Fukuda Doctrine has been the official blueprint to Japan's
foreign policy towards Southeast Asia since 1977. This book
examines the Fukuda Doctrine in the context of Japan-Southeast Asia
relations, and discusses the possibility of a non-realist approach
in the imagining and conduct of international relations in East
Asia. The collapse of 54 years of Liberal Democratic Party rule and
the advent of a new Democratic Party of Japan raises the question
of whether the Fukuda Doctrine is still relevant as a framework to
analyse Tokyo's policy and behaviour towards Southeast Asia.
Looking at its origins and norms amidst three decades of change,
the book argues that the Fukuda Doctrine is still relevant to
Japan-Southeast Asian relations, and should be extended to
relations between China and Japan if an East Asian Community is to
be built. The book goes on to discuss the Fukuda Doctrine in
relation to the power shift in Asia, including the revitalization
of Japan's security role. By providing a detailed understanding of
a non-western perspective of Japan's relationship with Southeast
Asia, this book is a useful contribution for students and scholars
of Asian Studies, Politics and International Relations.
