Evolution of ASEAN-Japan Relations

"This book is part of ISEAS' new series of background briefings for public outreach. Sudo succeeds in sketching the broad parameters of the relationship for the non-expert -- and, as such, it may prove to be a useful starting-point for undergraduates too" (Asian Affairs).

This book charts the progress of ASEAN-Japan relations from their difficult wartime legacy to postwar moves at diplomatic and economic rapprochement through successive governments.
