This course aims to improve students’ awareness of the origins and evolution of US-Japan relations and will examine the changing relations between the two countries and the evolution of their relationship from bitter rivalry to today’s close partnership. Students of this course will deepen their understanding of the various layers of the US-Japan relationship and will be introduced to the major themes and issues which both underpin and, at times, strain, the 'alliance'. Keywords: War, 'alliance', the great powers, diplomacy, the balance of power, sovereignty, international law, bandwagoning, balancing, free-riding, containment, Cold War international relations, the Yoshida doctrine, the Cold War, the influence of identity on IR, Japan’s reactive / adaptive diplomacy, trade friction. ＜到達目標/Goals,Aims ＞ Primary Aims: Students will deepen their understanding of the the US-Japan relationship and will be introduced to the major themes and issues which both underpin and, at times, strain, the 'alliance'.
