Japan's subnational governments in international affairs

Description:

"Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews, this book shows the valuable role that SNGs fulfil operating largely outside of national government in pursuit of both domestic and international goals. How, why and where these SNGs operate in Japan's international relations is explored alongside a comparative discussion of other Asian examples, including China and India."--BOOK JACKET.
