Scholarship is a multi-generational collective enterprise with a
commitment to advancing knowledge, inspiring reflection, and
facilitating stronger neighborhoods, cities and countries. This
book explicitly adopts this lens as a recognition of the
contributions of Prof. Terry Cooper to scholarship and practice,
and as a mechanism to connect the past to the present and
ultimately the future of scholarship in public ethics and citizen
engagement. This "multi-generational" approach is designed to
reveal the persistent and future ongoing need to engage as a
scholarly and practitioner community with these questions. The book
is broken into three main sections: citizenship and neighborhood
governance, public service ethics and citizenship, and global
explorations of citizenship and ethics. Unique in this collection
is the explicit linkage across the main focus areas of citizenship
and ethics, as well as the comparative and global context in which
these issues are explored. Cases and data are examined from the
United States, Chile, Thailand, India, China, Georgia, and Myanmar.
Ultimately, it is made clear through each individual chapter and
the collective whole that research on citizenship and ethics within
public affairs and service has a rich history, remains critical to
the strengthening of public institutions today, and will only
increase in global significance in the years ahead.
Japan in a Dynamic Asia examines a new phenomenon in Japanese
foreign policy: Japan's increasing activism under the Koizumi
administration. Behind this policy shift are the end of the Cold
War, drastic growth of China, proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, and new transnational security threats. This book
updates our understanding of Japan's rapidly changing foreign
policies in the contexts of the new regional power balance and
security concerns. Unlike most books on Japanese foreign policy,
which focus mainly on U.S.-Japan relations, this book analyzes
Japan's relations with individual Asian countries and sub-regions.
The role of the United States - when relevant - is discussed in the
contexts of these bilateral and multilateral relations. Editors
Yoichiro Sato and Satu Limaye have gathered an impressive array of
essays that will interest students of Japanese politics, foreign
policy, and international relations in the Asia-Pacific region.
