In recent years, Japan's foreign and security policies have begun to change, despite seemingly stable 'peaceful norms' and 'antimilitarist culture'. This book seeks to address these changes through engagement with recent developments in identity theory, theorizing identity as a product of processes of differentiation.

This book was originally published as a special issue of The Pacific Review.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
