Reviews
"""When war-related deaths in the world have been dramatically reduced, the world desperately needs those actors and institutions who tackle, head-on and with professional expertise, mundane daily life issues such as trade and regulations, environmental, economic and energy security issues and political, food and health security issues. The EU and Japan are among two of them. This volume is a must-read to know what civilian powers aspire and carry out."" Takashi Inoguchi, University of Tokyo and University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan ""The European Union and Japan takes a long overdue and fresh look at this interregional relationship of potential considerable importance to international stability and governance. The book gathers together some of the leading scholars, both established and emerging, working in this area today in Japan, Europe and North America. This book demonstrates the continuing problems in maximising EU-Japan relations, but also demonstrates key areas of cooperation across economics, security, and a broad range of new and pressing global governance issues. It is essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners alike."" Christopher W. Hughes, University of Warwick, UK ""This excellent book could not come at a better moment. Japan and the EU are negotiating a bilateral economic partnership agreement which is much more discrete than its rivals, between Japan and the US and between the EU and the US. This book gives a precious analysis of the relatively little known existing relations between Japan and the EU in domains at the core of the negotiations."" Patrick Messerlin, Sciences Po, France"

Its central message deserves broad attention: European and Japanese contributions to global governance are essential, and will become even more important in the future.a (TM) Hanns W.
