I dedicate the book to my family, to Lyn who ensured that I remember the other things closer to home that really matter and our children Jude, Ruth and Neil, all of whom have tolerated my absences and my distraction. Lyn also provided a valuable sounding board for ideas that found their way into the book, or were fortunately discarded. If I may also dedicate this book to a place, it is to the Ryoan-ji Zen garden in Kyoto.

Brief contents

Content

I would like to thank Dr Ian Greener, Department of Management Studies, University of York for suggestions leading to many improvements to the manuscript. Ian has been a valuable colleague, provocateur and critic over several years. Thanks also to Nicola Smith and Thomas Diez at the Department of Political Science and International Studies, the University of Birmingham and Professor W.L. Miller, Edward Caird Professor of Politics at Glasgow University. They commented on earlier versions of the manuscript and made many useful suggestions. I make the usual plea that none of them should be held in any way responsible for any errors or weaknesses that remain in the text. Thanks also are due to Lyn Wait, Dr Judy Giles, Dr Phil Ross, Richard Thurley, Wayne Johnson, and Jon Neale, all of whom provided valuable help with source material.

Thanks too to colleagues at Pearson Education, especially Morten Fuglevand and Emma Travis for their commitment in seeing the project to completion, and Aylene Rogers, Helen Hodge and Barbara Massam for their magnificent editorial help. I am indebted to colleagues in the School of Management, Community and Communication at York St John College, including Dr Stuart Billingham, Jackie Mathers and Tish Hamill. I also thank Toshimi Kawashima and Chizuru Horado for their generous welcome on my numerous visits to Japan; Dr Patrick Griffiths, formerly of the University of York and now of Beppu University in Japan, and the best teacher I ever had; friends in Spain, Italy and Poland including Mark Wilson, Araceli Sanz, Marta Berraondo, Ramn Cabestany, Juan Carlos Aguinaga, Guido Fornaro, Cesary Wosinski and Janusz Szpala. I also thank colleagues and friends at Meiji University in Tokyo, and at Wysza Szkoa Lingwistyczna in Czestochowa.

Above all I am grateful to my students. I thank my postgraduate students in Japan, based in Osaka and Tokyo, and in Poland, in Czestochowa, as well as undergraduates at York St John who have braved my international and European-related modules, and postgraduate students at the University of York. All of them have demonstrated their wish to learn about things that matter, and in so doing encouraged me to write this book. One of the greatest pleasures that I gain from teaching is participating in the learning process with my students. It is through them that I learn, and their warmth, hospitality and enthusiasm enriches my work. I shall refer to just one by name, in recognition of his contribution to Unicef in Tokyo and worldwide. He is Yoshihisa Togo, President of the Japan section of Unicef and a graduate of our MA in International Studies in 2003.
