About this book

Japan has consistently been pursuing the goal of a permanent UN Security Council seat for 30 years. The book investigates the motives for this ambition, and how it has been pursued domestically and internationally. It is therefore a study of the inner workings of the Japanese Foreign Ministry as well as of the country's underdeveloped multinational diplomacy.

Reviews

'...the first published English-language account that systematically and thoroughly examines both the historical background and contemporary details of efforts by Japan to raise its profile and influence within the UN...valuable work.' - The Japan Society

'...an extremely informative study.' - Christopher P. Hood, International Affairs
