{"product_id":"handbook-of-japan-russia-relations-dmitry-streltsov-9789048563425","title":"Handbook of Japan-Russia Relations","description":"The history of official relations between Russia and Japan encompasses a period of a little more than one hundred and fifty years, but stretch back unofficially for at least double that amount of time. But for both Russia and Japan, these relations have never been a key element of foreign policy, indispensable or intrinsically important for their diplomatic strategy. It is also noteworthy that for most of this time Russia and Japan were enemies, rivals, competitors. For both parties the significance of bilateral relations to a large extent was determined by their geographical proximity. This geographically predestined relationship can be characterized as \"distant neighbors.\" At the same time, at certain historical stages, this neighborhood was not so \"distant.\" The countries managed to establish relations in the economic sphere, while tourism, cultural, scientific and educational ties were actively developing. The complexity of the relations which developed for just over three centuries is worthy of study. This book analyzes these three centuries of Japan-Russia relations so as not to miss out any essential factors of the relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuhiko Togo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048563429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048563425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 1.30d","brand":"Kazuhiko Togo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44652204294399,"sku":"9789048563425","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5a0f81e-85b5-4670-8899-462065d0321d.jpg?v=1704215041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-japan-russia-relations-dmitry-streltsov-9789048563425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
