Japan's arrival since World War Two as a major industrial nation
has meant that she has had to bear a greater share of the developed
world's contribution to the developing nations and foreign aid has
become an integral part of foreign policy. This book describes the
roots of Japan's aid policy and shows that this side of her
international economic policy is based largely on domestic
conditions, structures and forces. To understand the pattern of
Japanese aid as it stands today, it is important to appreciate the
complexities of the Japanese decision-making process. This book
clearly explains the patterns of Japanese aid policy-making.
When this volume was published in 1993 it was the first
comprehensive analysis of the major policy issues confronting
Japan's massive foreign aid programme. It deals with the philosophy
behind Japan's aid, Japanese reactions to the severe criticisms of
its programmes and the beginnings of meaningful administrative
reform of the complex aid system. Alan Rix goes on to examine the
widespread innovation in programmes and policies to make Japan's
aid more responsive and the impact of the Asian bias in Japan's
aid.

Australia's relationship with Japan has often been seen in just
trade and economic terms. In fact, there is a long history of
political exchange and co-operation since the 1950s, that has led
to a close alignment of political and security interests that have
helped shape the Asia-Pacific region. In this volume, the author
examines the renewal of post-war contacts between the two countries
and the resolution of war-time issues in the 1950s. He aims to show
how some major bilateral negotiations highlight the tensions
involved in forging a strong relationship, while extensive analysis
of the machinery of diplomacy (the administrative, political and
legal framework) indicates the depth of bilateral ties. Also
covered are the close consultation and diplomatic dealings over the
decades and the personal connections between leaders.

Over the past thirty years Japan has shown that it is a highly
dynamic society, and its economic policy-making has often
astonished the world. Japanese politics, however, though sometimes
showing dynamism, are very stable and frequently strangely
immobilist. In this book, six specialists on Japanese politics seek
to find out why.
