Since the unexpected end of the Cold War, standard arguments about
power politics can no longer be adopted uncritically. This has led
to a renewed interest in Japan's unusually peaceful security
policy. Japan's championing of "comprehensive security" is central
to this collection. Peter J. Katzenstein's essays explore this
concept which not only encompasses traditional military concerns
but also domestic aspects of security. The book's focus on
counter-terrorism and national security highlights a policy
approach which, over decades, Japan has developed with political
patience and diplomatic finesse. These essays advocate an eclectic
approach that helps in recognizing new questions and that seek to
combine elements from different analytical perspectives in the
exploration of novel lines of argument. Additionally, the book
features an entirely new, substantial introduction that explores
and elaborates the themes of the collection while bringing it up to
date. This collection will be of significant interest to students
and scholars of Japanese politics, security studies and
international relations.
