From 1960s to the early 1970s in East Asia, the Cold War bipolar
system, centering on the US and USSR, shifted to a more complicated
structure. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Washington and Moscow
accelerated the detente process, leading China to fear a
"collusion" of the two superpowers. Publicly attacking its former
ally while continuing to fight against America, China rose as a
symbol of multipolarization in international politics during this
era. Focusing on Japan's policy toward this changing paradigm,
Kanda examines Japanese leaders' perceptions of the international
order and how they reacted to this changing international
environment. This book moves beyond the traditional Eurocentric
view of the Cold War, emphasizing the significant role Japan
played. The research provides insight into the foreign policy
patterns of post-World War II Japanese diplomacy, particularly in
relation to China and the USSR. The investigation relies on careful
readings of archival records from Japan, China, Taiwan, the US, the
UK, Australia and the UN, published diplomatic documents from
France and Germany, and personal papers, diaries and memoirs. This
volume will appeal to anyone who is interested in postwar Japan's
politics and diplomacy, international history of East Asia, and the
Cold War history in general.
