He contends that, since World War II, Japan has developed a distinctive, comprehensive, and generally nonviolent definition of security that is different from that of the United States. To make his argument he follows a discussion of Japanese cultural norms with chapters on the police and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, before exploring the U.S.-Japanese relationship and drawing an extended comparison between Japan and Germany. . . . An intriguing work well worth reading."--Foreign Affairs "Katzenstein offers one of the most interesting approaches in many years to analysis and interpretation of national security policy and behavior."--Choice "We find in this work insightful and interesting accounts of Japan's police and military, including historical background, present problems, and future prospects. . . . [Katzenstein] provides well-balanced, up-to-date descriptions on this complex subject." --Journal of Japanese Studies "An important study that deserves careful attention not only from Japan experts, but from all East Asian security analysts, as well as scholars interested in the forces that drive security-policy-making in general."--Survival Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.czLoading…
