Japan and Britain at War and Peace (Sheffield Centre for Japanese Studies Routledge Series)

Since the events of the Second World War the relationship between Japan and Britain has undergone an extraordinary transformation, from bitter conflict to peaceful alliance. Japan and Britain at War and Peace is a multilayered examination of this bilateral relationship with an emphasis on the issue of reconciliation. Reconciliation is explored in a broad sense and in a number of areas from economic cooperation and conflict, common concerns in the international system, public and media perceptions of each country, and the efforts of individuals, non-governmental organizations and governments to promote mutual understanding and find strategies to deal with dilemmas. With chapters from an international team of contributors from the UK, Japan, and Australia, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese and British history and international politics. This Book Examines Reconciliation Between Japan And The Uk, Exploring The Development And Current State Of Japan-uk Relations From The Perspectives Of Economic Cooperation And Conflict, Common Concerns In The International System, And Public And Media Perceptions Of Each Country.
