Few nations rely upon the ocean as much as Japan for livelihood,
culture and transport. The seas have long played a vital role for
the Japanese, helping to support the economic and social life of a
nation that possesses few resources and little arable land, and
sustain a population that has nearly tripled in the last century.
Fish are a distinctive feature of the Japanese diet, constituting
nearly half of all animal protein consumed - the highest rate in
the world. The industry itself has provided an impetus for coastal
community growth and national economic development over the past
century, while fisheries have worked their way into Japanese
culture and customs, serving as a dominant symbol in traditional
arts and folklore. This book explores the overarching rationale
that motivated Japanese international fisheries policy throughout
the post-war period until today, highlighting the importance of
international fisheries to Japan and the stature this resource has
occupied as a national interest. It provides a comparative view of
Japanese foreign policy at various ocean conferences, treaty
negotiations, bilateral diplomatic initiatives and other maritime
relations that constitute ocean policy over half a century, and
investigates the domestic constituents of national policy. Roger
Smith argues that the rationale for international fisheries policy
may be best viewed as deriving from Japan's unique defence strategy
for its national interests: comprehensive security. Encompassing
non-military elements and most importantly defence of economic
interests, Japan's international fisheries policy provides an
interesting case study of how comprehensive security is
conceptualised and carried out. Taking a broad view of Japan's
international fisheries policies from 1945 to the present, this
book highlights the key trends in policy motives and means
throughout the post-war period. As such, it will be of great
interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies,
international and environmental law, resource management and
international relations, as well as to policy makers working in the
field.
