- About this book
-
The Political-Diplomatic Dimension, 1600-1930, consists of parallel essays by Japanese and British academic specialists covering comprehensively the history of relations between Japan and Britain from the first contacts in the seventeenth century to the present. This study, and its companion, Volume 2, demonstrates that, in the political-diplomatic sphere, while there have been periods of serious disagreement, there has been on the whole a relationship of harmony and mutual understanding.

- Reviews
-
'This first clear and highly readable volume comprises ten parallel essays by Japanese and British scholars which chart the changing course of relations over the past four hundred years: from the early years from 1600 (Massarella and Kato Eiichi), through Britian's role in the opening of Japan in the 1860s and the years of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance (Kato Yuzo, Beasley, Hoare and Inouye Yuichi), to the pragmatic cooperation which continued, especially in China, until 1930 (Murashima Shgeru, Steeds, Goto-Shibata Harumi and Nish).' - The Japan Society
