Incisive insights into the distinctive nature of Japanese foreign intelligence and grand strategy, its underlying norms, and how they have changed over timeJapanese foreign intelligence is an outlier in many ways. Unlike many states, Japan does not possess a centralized foreign intelligence agency that dispatches agents abroad to engage in espionage. Japan is also notable for civilian control over key capabilities in human and signals intelligence. Japanese Foreign Intelligence and Grand Strategy probes the unique makeup of Japans foreign intelligence institutions, practices, and capabilities across the economic, political, and military domains and shows how they have changed over time.Brad Williams begins by exploring how Japans experiences of the Second World War and its new role as a major US ally influenced its adoption of bilateralism, developmentalism, technonationalism, and antimilitarism as key norms. As a result, Japanese intelligence-gathering resources centered primarily around improving its position in the global economy throughout the Cold War. Williams then brings his analysis up to the Abe Era, examining how shifts in the international, regional, and domestic policy environments in the twenty-first century have caused a gradual reassessment of national security strategy under former prime minister Shinzo Abe. As Japan reevaluates its old norms in light of regional security challenges, the book concludes by detailing how the country is beginning to rethink the size, shape, and purpose of its intelligence community.Anyone interested in Japanese intelligence, security, or international relations will welcome this important contribution to our understanding of the countrys intelligence capabilities and strategy.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book is the product of several years of researching and teaching about, first, Japanese politics and foreign policy and, then, intelligence. I have incurred an enormous debt to the many individuals and institutions who facilitated and enriched this research. I am especially grateful to Jeff Funk, Purnendra Jain, Kotani Ken, Lam Peng Er, Dan Lynch, Dick Samuels, and Michael Schaller for providing thoughtful and constructive comments on parts of the manuscript. I also thoroughly enjoyed and benefited immensely from lunchtime conversations with Dick about both academic and nonacademic matters in New Orleans and Tokyo. Dick, I owe you some meals and beers, so it is my shout if you ever come to Hong Kong.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Ken for kindly sharing with me his considerable knowledge about Japanese intelligence and for patiently answering my numerous questions. Fukuyama Takashi, Kato Tetsuro, Ochiai Kotaro, Andrew Oros, Matt Parrella, Tsuchiya Motohiro, and Yoneyama Hiroshi were also generous with their time and provided invaluable insights into the subject matter. Many thanks also to Roger Faligot, Hoshino Mitsuaki, Inoue Masaya, Stephen Mercado, Takahashi Katsuhiro, Takizaki Shigeki, and Yoshida Noriaki for responding to my queries. Eric van Slander, David Langhart, and Jeffery Hartley from the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland, and Mary Curry and Bob Wampler from the National Security Archive were all extremely kind and helpful in locating useful materials for the project. The staff at the National Diet Library in Tokyo were also fantastic during my numerous visits. Toby Carroll and Mark Thompson were great sounding boards. Cheers, gents. I also benefited from numerous conversations (but not the hangovers!) with my nominakama (drinking buddies) from Sake Bar GINN.
I am indebted to Don Jacobs at Georgetown University Press for showing an interest in the project and to him and the anonymous referees for the many helpful suggestions for improving the manuscript. Thanks also to Elizabeth Crowley Webber, who patiently guided me through the book production process, and to her and Don McKeon for their thoughtful and thorough editing. The work described in this book was fully supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (CityU 21402414), for which I am grateful. Finally, I must thank Chika, Miu, Mum, and Dad for their love and support during the project and only regret that Mum was unable to see its completion. I dedicate this book to them as a token of affection and gratitude.
Finally (this time I mean it), an unusual caveat applies: in this age of irresponsibility, I blame everybody listed above for any mistakes or oversights!
