Review: "In response to the Second Gulf War of 1991, Japan has embarked upon the task of building its role both within the United Nations, and in United Nations-sponsored peacekeeping operations. Yet, for a traditionally antimilitarist nation, this has been no easy task, and the nature and extent of Japan's involvement in peacekeeping operations have proved to be one of the most controversial issues for the Japanese government and its people in the post-Cold War world." "This book investigates these developments, from the Japanese reaction to the Second Gulf War, and from the first postwar despatch of troops on peacekeeping operations to Cambodia in 1992, to the responses to events in East Timor and the 'war on terrorism'. It further analyses the policy-making opportunities and limitations that have both motivated and restricted the Japanese government's efforts to contribute to global security."--BOOK JACKET.
