Japan’s International Relations

Many new areas are included in this latest edition. In addition to updating the pre-existing sections, Gilson wrote the sections on changes to the European Union, and changes and advances in EU-Japan relations, particularly over enlargement and new economic factors. She added new sections on the idea of an 'expanded' Europe, to cover Japan's relations with Russia, Central Asia and the Balkans. She also expanded work on the role of non-governmental organisations and Japanese-EU cooperation in peacekeeping, and explored the idea of 'new security' through an examination of energy. She was also jointly responsible (with Dobson) for writing the new conclusion.
