Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a useful and extensive account of Japan's past discoveries and present interactions with Muslim states and societies across Asia. Bearing in mind the U.S.-led global meta-narrative of Islam spoken in tandem with security and threats, this book examines how this reconciles with Japan's self-proclaimed "values-based" approach to diplomacy across Asia in the twenty-first century. The author considers Japan's historic conceptualization and learning of Islam, and its acute needs for access to markets and energy from Muslim-majority states in Asia. He also argues that Japan securitizes Islam in a manner distinct from Western, Russian, or Chinese securitization today, but that Japan promotes itself as a model for human security and development across an Asia inclusive of Muslim states. Japan's approach to Islam and Muslim societies today offers much from which other great powers can



learn. B. Bryan Barber is Research Fellow at the Mohsin and Fauzia Jaffer Center for Muslim World Studies, Florida International University, USA, and Teaching Fellow at the Center for Preparatory Studies, Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan.

Sommario/riassunto

"The end of Japan's empire appeared to happen very suddenly, and cleanly--but, as this book shows, it was in fact very messy, with a long period of establishing or re-establishing the postwar order. Moreover, as the authors argue, empires have afterlives, which, in the case of Japan's empire, is not much studied. This book considers the details of de-imperialization, including repatriation of Japanese personnel, the redrawing of boundaries, issues to do with prisoners of war and war



criminals, new arrangements for democratic political institutions, for media and for the regulation of trade. It also discusses the continuing impact of empire: on the countries ruled or occupied by Japan, where as a result of Japanese management and administration, both formal and informal, patterns of behavior and attitudes were established which continued subsequently. This was true in Japan itself, where returning imperial personnel had to be absorbed and adjustments made to imperial thinking; and on present day East Asia, where the shadow of Japan's empire still lingers. This legacy of unresolved issues concerning the correct relationship of Japan, an important, energetic, outgoing nation and a potential regional 'hub,' with the rest of the region not comfortably settled in this era, remains a fulcrum of regional dispute"--Provided by publisher.

Sommario/riassunto

Japanese leaders and often the media too have substituted symbols for strategy in dealing with Asia. This comprehensive review of four periods over twenty years exposes the strategic gap in viewing individually and collectively China, Taiwan, the Korean peninsula, Russia, Central Asia, and regionalism.
