Britian and Japan in the Contemporary World provides up-to-date analyses of these two countries in terms of economics, politics, security and identity on the global, regional, subnational and civic levels.

With an approach based on political culture and identity, this book demonstrates the current pressures and shifting priorities that confront Japan's government and people, as they attempt to carve out a new international role.

Analysing Japan's international relations and participation in the multilateral forum - the G8 - since its creation in 1975, this text explores the motivation of the Japanese government and non-governmental actors' aims and objectives, and examines how and to what extent they have been achieved.
