How much influence have these protests had on the p;olicy regarding U.S. military bases? What conditions make protests more likely to influence policy? \u003ci\u003eProtests Against U.S. Military Base Policy in Asia\u003c\/i\u003e answers these questions by examining state response to twelve major protests in Asia since the end of World War II--in the Philippines, Okinawa, and South Korea. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYuko Kawato lays out the conditions under which protesters' normative arguments can and cannot persuade policy-makers to change base policy, and how protests can still generate some political or military incentives for policy-makers to adjust policy when persuasion fails. Kawato also shows that when policy-makers decide not to change policy, they can offer symbolic concessions to appear norm-abiding and to secure a smoother implementation of policies that protesters oppose. While the findings will be of considerable interest to academics and students, perhaps their largest impact will be on policy makers and activists, for whom Kawato offers recommendations for their future decision-making and actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuko Kawato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804794162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804794169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016","brand":"Yuko Kawato","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149197832447,"sku":"9780804794169","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_258633a9-5a57-4223-8a15-e024ccfb925a.jpg?v=1688455365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protests-against-us-military-base-yuko-kawato-9780804794169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
