Japan and Its Partners in the Indo-Pacific : Engagements and Alignment

The book studies the development of Japan's Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) vision. As strategic competition grows, the lessons from the pandemic, the deepening Sino-US rivalry, and the US losing grip on the current world strategic environment all compel Japan to focus its attention on the Indo-Pacific region. The volume examines Japan's foreign policy through an analysis of its strategic agenda, economic calculations, maritime security concerns, and soft power policies. It looks at Japan's relations with India, Vietnam, Africa, China, Australia, South Korea, Indonesia, and the US, in the context of Japan's bilateral and multilateral arrangements. An important contribution to the study of politics in the Indo-Pacific region, the book will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of political science, international relations, foreign policy, geopolitics, security studies, strategic studies, as well as area studies, namely Asian and East and Southeast Asian studies and Indo-Pacific studies--
