As a contrast, this book evinces how the foundations of Japan's foreign policy were laid in the early postwar period, and how postwar policies have been characterized by pervasive continuity, guided by distinct national goals and expressed in clear-cut national role conceptions. The far-reaching changes after the end of the Cold War transformed Japan’s domestic political system. Consequently, the analyses for 1946–93 (covered in the first edition) and 1993–2020 (added in the current edition) are structured differently. In the former, each prime minister gets a chapter except for the initial period 1946–54 when three premiers figure, while the prime ministers for 1993–2020 are treated as members of triads, except the long-reigning Koizumi Junichirō and Abe Shinzō.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-02-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031785269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-78527-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 460\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47555953688716,"sku":"9783031785269","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031785269.jpg?v=1776096392","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031785269","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
