Norms, Interests, and Power in Japanese

This edited volume puts forth a theoretically and empirically rigorous analysis of Japanese foreign policy. It explains the impact of norms on Japan's foreign policy behavior, drawing on three major paradigms of international relations scholarship'”constructivism, realism, and liberalism. Through nine case studies on Japan's security, economic, and environmental policies, this book examines how norms do or do not guide Japanese foreign policy and how they interact with interests and power. In doing so, this book explores whether the rationalist and constructivist schools of thought are potentially complementary or mutually exclusive.

Yoichiro Sato is an Associate Professor and teaches military officers, diplomats, and other government officials at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies in Honolulu. Keiko Hirata is Assistant Professor at California State University, Northridge.
