Japan's policymaking is, given that nation's economic prowess
and history, of considerable worldwide interest. Quansheng Zhao
makes a highly original and important contribution to an improved
understanding of Japanese policymaking processes by examining
several informal approaches or mechanisms, which in their
interrelationships directly impact policy formulation. He examines
kuromaku or the informal organizations or political actors;
isuskiai or social connections; and nemawashi or the behind the
scenes preparations and shows their effect on policy through
detailed empirical analysis.
Four case studies involving Japan's policies toward China offer
special, and captivating, insights into Sino-Japanese relations and
provide lessons relative to the country's international policies.
The highly informed treatment of political institutions, social
environments, and political cultures will provide a needed
understanding of essential elements affecting the stance Japan
takes vis-a-vis other countries.
