  • Japan and the IISS: Connecting Western and Japanese Strategic Thought from the Cold War to the War on Ukraine

    Yuichi Hosoya, Routledge, 2023.12,  Page： 568

    　View Summary

    Since its accession to the UN, Japan has consolidated its national identity as a bridge between the East and the West in various ways. The United States has long recognised Japan’s value as an ally with strong connections in Asia and Africa, with the establishment of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1966, as a result of Japanese policy, being one of the most obvious examples of this. Together with the publication of the first Diplomatic Bluebook, in which the Three Basic Principles were defined, Kishi successfully formulated Japan’s defence policy by publishing Japan’s first Basic Policy on National Defense in May 1957. A new generation of Japanese strategic thinkers emerged in the 1960s. Before this, Japanese academia was overwhelmingly dominated by leftist intellectuals, many of whom energetically argued for the abolition of both the Self-Defense Forces and the US-Japan security alliance.

  • Modern Japan’s Place in World History: From Meiji to Reiwa

    Yuichi Hosoya, Springer, 2023.03

    　View Summary

    This Open Access book includes chapters on the key turning points in modern Japanese history from the Meiji Restoration to Japan-China diplomatic normalization in the 1970s and beyond. The topics covered include the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the First and Second World Wars, the Manchurian Crisis, the US Occupation, postwar Japan-China relations, and postwar decolonization. Readers will learn how new research by Japanese historians has led to the revision of conventional views on the turbulent history of Japan, once the enemy of the United States in the war in the Asia-Pacific and now the US’s closest ally in the region. Historical research on the modern history of Japan has been constantly updated. From the Meiji Restoration to the present day, Japan has experienced the effects of modernization and globalization. Recent historical inquiries in Japan tend to focus on the merging of modern history with global history. During the past 150 years, Japan has never been separated from events in international affairs. Scholars and general readers will appreciate the new factual details and philosophical perspectives that this volume provides drawing on the work of fourteen authors who are recognized leaders in their fields.

  • The Russo-Japanese War and Modern International Society

    Hosoya Y., Modern Japan’s Place in World History: from Meiji to Reiwa, 2023.01

    　View Summary

    The significance and reverberations of the Russo-Japanese War, the first in which a Western power had been defeated by an Asian nation, is the focus of this chapter. The war is viewed from both geopolitical and racial perspectives, with the ‘Great Game’ between Russia and Britain serving as a backdrop. It was a harbinger of the total wars of the twentieth century to come, the demise of the Russian Empire, and the rise of nationalism around the world.

  • Japan and the Rise of the Global South: Can Japan’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific Vision Survive?

    Yuichi H.

    Asia-Pacific Review 30 ( 3 ) 17 - 29 2023

    ISSN  13439006

    　View Summary

    As presidency of the G7 Hiroshima 2023 Summit convened in May 2023, Japan was required to address challenges faced by the G7 in 2023. This article focuses on Japan’s relationship with the group of emerging and developing countries called the “Global South.” Although some analysts question the utility of the term, use of it has become mainstream. At the G20 Summit in Delhi held in September 2023, the Global South continued to receive attention. Here and in subsequent meetings, Prime Minister Kishida introduced Japan’s new plan for a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP)” together with political and diplomatic considerations that have been advancing Japan’s policy toward the Global South.

  • Nakasone Yasuhiro and Japan’s European Diplomacy

    Yuichi H.

    Asia-Pacific Review (Asia-Pacific Review)  27 ( 1 ) 102 - 112 2020.01

    ISSN  13439006

    　View Summary

    While Prime Minister Nakasone frequently showed his cordial personal friendship with US President Ronald Reagan, he was successful in creating new Japan-Europe relations based on his close ties with European leaders such as UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President François Mitterrand. Nakasone felt that the so-called “Yoshida Doctrine” was not enough and focused more on “culture and politics.” This article reveals that this originated in his high school days when he learned French and the importance of the philosophy of liberalism.

  • FOIP 2.0: The Evolution of Japan’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy

    Hosoya Y.

    Asia-Pacific Review (Asia-Pacific Review)  26 ( 1 ) 18 - 28 2019.01

    ISSN  13439006

    　View Summary

    The “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” (FOIP) is the most important feature of Japan’s foreign policy under the Abe Administration. One of the most important questions is whether this vision aims to contain a rapidly rising China. Along with the amelioration of the relationship between Japan and China, this diplomatic strategy has been evolved from the quadrilateral security cooperation among leading democracies in this region, namely the US, Japan, Australia, and India, to a more comprehensive regional cooperation. This article regards the latter diplomatic strategic as the “FOIP 2.0” and that there emerges a possible harmony between Japan’s FOIP and China’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
