Analysing Japan's international relations and participation in the multilateral forum - the G8 - since its creation in 1975, this text explores the motivation of the Japanese government and non-governmental actors' aims and objectives, and examines how and to what extent they have been achieved.

Part of Routledge's "Global Institutions" series, this book examines the G8 and its position in global governance in terms of its relationship to the more formal and truly institutionalized mechanisms of global governance: the UN, World Bank and the WTO. It is useful for students and professionals in the field of international relations.

Britian and Japan in the Contemporary World provides up-to-date analyses of these two countries in terms of economics, politics, security and identity on the global, regional, subnational and civic levels.

With an approach based on political culture and identity, this book demonstrates the current pressures and shifting priorities that confront Japan's government and people, as they attempt to carve out a new international role.
