This book discusses Japan's international relations prior to 1945
with its focus on war and after 1945 during the Cold War era with
its focus on globalization and also examines Japan's international
relations as an academic discipline. Part I describes and analyzes
(1) how modern Japan coped with the coerced opening of the country,
(2) how major powers aspired and alternated their hegemonic
positions in East Asia in the extended twentieth century and (3)
how global politics has been evolving with the three distinctive
paradigms: the Westphalian, Philadelphian and Anti-Utopian. Part II
describes and analyzes (1) how Japan foresees the future on the eve
of the Cold War: the metamorphosis from Pax Americana Phase II to
Pax Consortis, (2) how Japan envisages regionalism in Asia with
sub-nationally and functionally articulated ideas for East and
Southeast Asia, (3) Japan's 21st century manifesto of foreign
policy is presented as the best mix of classical realism,
transformative pragmatism and liberal internationalism and (4)
Japan's manifesto as an Asian state is to deploy
manufacturing/technological statecraft on the basis of East Asian
peace. Part III focuses on theorizings of international relations
from various angles. In light of hyperglobalization, theorizing
global politics (as distinguished from international politics) is
called for with two latest studies on global quasi-legislative
politics and typology of Asian societies given as examples.
