This book explores efforts to maintain peace through realistic diplomacy. It's an easy read. The author served as Administrative Vice-Minister from 2008 to 2010, so you can understand the inner workings of the position and follow the thought processes of someone in that role. What was most impressive was the diplomacy with China. The author's behind-the-scenes accounts of actual negotiations clearly explain the Chinese perspective and how Japan responded. I believe you can understand the core of the diplomacy of avoiding war. Please check the photos for the condition of the book. It will be shipped via Nekopos. - Author: Mitsuhiro Yabunaka - Publication Date: February 22, 2024 - Publisher: PHP Institute Thank you for viewing.
