This volume examines Japan’s new foreign policy frontiers in South Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. The contributors analyze Japan’s ongoing relationships with the United States and the ASEAN states as China’s influence expands.

This edited collection analyzes the innovative changes in Japan’s foreign policy. Pursuing new relationships with South Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, Japanese initiatives include regional peace-building and human security activities, Asian multilateralism, and the Indo-Pacific concept. This collection focuses on these evolving international relationships through Japan’s unique approach to political change and continuity.

Purnendra Jain is professor of Japanese studies in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Adelaide. Lam Peng Er is senior research fellow at the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore.
