This book analyzes Ohira's ideology, philosophy, and actions as a
politician and a minister, based on primary sources from Japan and
the USA, and makes a significant contribution to the field of
Japanese political and diplomatic history. This book is the first
critical biography to chart Masayoshi Ohira's life and work, with a
focus on his political philosophy, and how he sought to create a
new order in the Asia-Pacific region, framing a plan for solidarity
across the Pacific Rim. If a statesman is a politician who has made
diplomacy their life's work, then Ohira can be regarded as the
first Japanese statesman of the modern era. While this ambition
remained unfulfilled, Ohira's involvement in foreign policy was
long and intensive-and highly influential-on the region. One of
only two postwar prime ministers to have served as foreign minister
for two terms, he attempted to balance the pursuit of a new order
in the Pacific Rim with Asian diplomacy and focused on cooperation
with the USA without becoming overly reliant on it. With the new
availability of original documents decades after his death, this
book has become possible, enabling the author to systematically
follow and record Ohira's diplomatic vision. Combining history,
political philosophy, political science, and international
relations, this book is of appeal to history scholars and students
of Japan, as well as of the foreign relations of countries such as
the USA, China, and Korea.
