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 Japan's international relations and domestic politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy bringing to light the scope and consequences of the international actions of Japan's 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Purnendra Jain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415333679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415333672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.34w x 0.70d","brand":"Purnendra Jain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136073904383,"sku":"9780415333672","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a495e66-d6c7-4e14-9d2b-e8d92e1787f0.jpg?v=1770160336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japans-subnational-governments-in-international-purnendra-jain-9780415333672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
