Reassessing Japans Cold War

As memories of the savage conflict inaugurated by the attack on Pearl Harbor recede, the ethical foundations that influenced postwar interpretations of Japans role during the Cold War era are crumbling on different fronts. Retracing Japanese history during the Sixties, this book locates the countrys role in Cold War history against the backdrop of the twentieth century, contextualizing older trends that shaped postwar changes. It also places Cold War Japan in the global context of Americas shifting hegemony and the corresponding structure of the international system. Given its nuanced approach, this book will prove instrumental for students and researchers working in studies of Cold War history, Japanese history, American history and international history.

Oliviero Frattolillo is Associate Professor at the Department of Politics (Roma Tre University).

The Routledge Global 1960s and 1970s

As the decades that defined the Cold War, the 1960s and 1970s helped shape the world we live in to a remarkable degree. Political phenomena including the almighty tussle between capitalism and communism, the Arab-Israeli conflict, apartheid in South Africa, uprisings against authoritarianism and independence from colonial rule for a large swathe of the nations of the Global South helped define the period but the sixties and seventies were as much about cultural and social change, with lives the world over altered irretrievably by new standpoints and attitudes. Traditionally, analysis of the era has largely been concerned with superpower posturings and life in Europe and America, but this series, while providing full coverage to such impulses, takes a properly global view of the era.

Contents

Most of the research for this book was undertaken while I was a Visiting Fellow at the Department of Law, Keio University of Tokyo, in 2014 and continued during the following years at various archives throughout Europe and the United States. I owe a special word of thanks to professors Yuichi Hosoya (Keio University), Fred Dickinson (University of Pennsylvania) and Tsuyoshi Hasegawa (University of California at Santa Barbara), who encouraged me to focus my attention on this topic. Their support was invaluable and helped me to overcome the initial difficulties I experienced in approaching this project.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to professors Hironao Suzuki (Nagoya University) and Daisuke Hayashi (Musashino Gakuin University of Saitama), who believed in this project and supported me tremendously as I launched my archival research in Japan.

I also gratefully acknowledge the anonymous experts who recommended this manuscript for publication and who allowed me to greatly improve the contents of this book. Special thanks are due to Robert Langham at Routledge for having supported and assisted me through the submission of the manuscript with enormous patience.

I am also indebted to friends like Gabriella, Antonella, Eleonora, Christian, and Davide for their immense support during the hardest moments I went through, to the kindness of Maria Vittoria, and to colleagues such as Antonio, Maria Rosaria and Niccol, who read parts of the text and who contributed to this work in an important way. Thanks are also due to Nick Kapur for the enlightening conversation I had with him in Philadelphia about this book project and for his kind help with some archival sources in the United States. Last but not least I am grateful to the Department of Political Science, Roma Tre University, for all kinds of support.

Finally, a very special word of thanks goes to Martina and to my sons Riccardo and Andrea. Without their loving, constant, and unreserved encouragement, without their eyes and smiles, this adventure would not have been possible.

This work was supported by The Japan Foundation under a Grant for Research.
