Contending with China -- Diplomacy and domestic interests -- Japan's imperial veterans -- A shared maritime boundary -- Food safety -- Island defense.

"Smith explores the policy issues testing the Japanese government as it tries to navigate its relationship with an advancing China. She finds that Japan's interactions with China extend far beyond the negotiations between diplomats and include a broad array of social actors intent on influencing the Sino-Japanese relationship. For many, China's rise means Japan's decline, and Smith suggests how Japan can maintain its regional and global clout as confidence in its postwar diplomatic and security approach diminishes."--Provided by publisher.
