1 Introduction -- 2 To Restore and Reconstruct: Yoshida Shigeru, Ashida Hitoshi, Katayama Tetsu -- 3 The Prewar Leftover with a Postwar Mission: Hatoyama Ichirō -- 4 The Failure of Brilliance: Kishi Nobusuke -- 5 The International Cold Warrior: Ikeda Hayato -- 6 The Cautious and Discreet Prime Minister: Satō Eisaku -- 7 The Computerized Bulldozer on the International Stage: Tanaka Kakuei -- 8 A Liberal Turning Realist: Miki Takeo -- 9 A Visionary Arch-Conservative: Fukuda Takeo -- 10 Turning the Tide: Ōhira Masayoshi -- 11 The Harmony Man on the Slippery Slope: Suzuki Zenkō -- 12 The Symbolic Statesman: Nakasone Yasuhiro -- 13 A Local Politician on the Global Stage: Takeshita Noboru -- 14 Hope and Uncertainty: Kaifu Toshiki -- 15 Full Circle: Miyazawa Kiichi -- 16 The Non-LDP Trio: Hosokawa Morihiro, Hata Tsutomu, Murayama Tomiichi -- 17 LDP Bosses at the Pinnacle of Power: Hashimoto Ryūtarō, Obuchi Keizō, Mori Yoshirō -- 18 A Doer Enters the Stage: Koizumi Junichirō -- 19 Three Offsprings on the Political Scene: Abe Shinzō, Fukuda Yasuo, Asō Tarō -- 20 The Up and Down of the LDP's Political Opposition: Hatoyama Yukio, Kan Naoto,Noda Yoshihiko -- 21 The Comeback Kid: Abe Shinzō -- 22 Conclusion: Japan's Evolving Foreign Policy Doctrine.

During half a century after the war Japan's economy was built up from scratch to the world's number two, while its foreign policy has been described by many as passive and even verging on being non-existent. As a contrast, this book evinces how the foundations of Japan's foreign policy were laid in the early postwar period, and how postwar policies have been characterized by pervasive continuity, guided by distinct national goals and expressed in clear-cut national role conceptions. The far-reaching changes after the end of the Cold War transformed Japan's domestic political system. Consequently, the analyses for 1946-93 (added in the first edition) and 1993-2020 (added in the current edition) are structured differently. In the former, each prime minister gets a chapter except for the initial period 1946-54 when three premiers figure, while the prime ministers for 1993-2020 are treated as members of triads, except the long-reigning Koizumi Jun'ichirō and Abe Shinzō. Bert Edström is currently Nonresident Senior Research Fellow at the Stockholm-based Institute for Security and Development Policy. He is the author of Japan and the Challenge of Human Security (2008), Sweden-Japan. 150 years of Friendship and Cooperation (2018), Master Spy on a Mission. The Untold Story of Onodera Makoto and Swedish Intelligence (2021), and Four Essays on the History of East Asian Studies at Stockholm University (2024).
