Examining examples of subnational governments (SNGs) across Japan the book uncovers a significant and generally unrecognised development in Japanese politics: SNGs are ever more dynamic international actors as national borders weaken across the world. Exploring what Japanese SNGs do, where they do it, and why, the book considers the implications of these factors for Japans international relations and domestic politics.By bringing to light the scope and consequences of the international actions of Japans SNGs, this book provides a more accurate and nuanced understanding of the country's foreign policy, at a time when it is pursuing a broader and more active profile in international affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51865527943456,"sku":"NEW0415333679","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61M1zG04NUL.jpg?v=1781663839","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/japans-subnational-governments-in-international-affairs-the-university-of-sheffieldroutledge-japanese-studies-series-0415333679","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
