September 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of
the San Francisco Treaty, formally ending the Second World War. In
signing this treaty, Japan fundamentally transformed its position
on the world stage. It established itself in the vanguard of the
burgeoning cold war bulwark against the Soviet Union and its
communist satellites, and wed itself to the United States through
economic, political, and security ties that persist today. The half
century since the establishment of the San Francisco system has
seen highs and lows in the relations between the two countries,
continuing even into the current war on terrorism. This new book
evaluates the changing relationship between the two great powers,
providing in-depth analysis on a variety of topics. It scrutinizes
the historical context, providing the reader with predictive tools
for understanding events as they unfold. Instead of looking at the
U.S.-Japan relationship one issue at a time, this book examines
specific trends and then analyzes how these trends affect the
relationship as a whole. This innovative approach allows the reader
to view several perspectives simultaneously, and it compels the
contributors to assemble clear causal arguments that detail what
each factor can and cannot explain. The result is a cogent and
convincing appraisal of the status and future of U.S.-Japan
relations after fifty years of peaceful coexistence.
