About this book

This volume examines Japanese and Korean politics from both Japanese and Korean angles, exploring why the two countries do not cooperate bilaterally or consult one another, despite their geographical closeness and a number of common features that are central to both countries' domestic politics and foreign policies.

Reviews

“The book is insightful for emphasizing how party politics and macroeconomic/monetary policies–two areas that many security-focused books overlook–are closely linked to bilateral interactions. … The book’s greatest strength is the way that it highlights Japan and South Korea’s diverging strategies in facing the United States-China rivalry, and explaining this as one of the most serious sources of bilateral deadlock.” (Seung Hyok Lee, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 89 (2), June, 2016)
