Featuring interviews with decision-makers and experts from Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and the Philippines, this book argues that Japan's impact on Central Asia and its connectivity has been underappreciated. It demonstrates that Japan's infrastructural footprint in the New Silk Road significantly pre-dated China's Belt and Road Initiative and that the financial and policy contribution driven by Japanese officials was of similar order of magnitude. It also goes on to show that Japan was the first major power outside of post-Soviet Central Asia to articulate a dedicated Silk Road diplomacy vis-aÌ-vis the region before the United States and China, and the first to sponsor pivotal assistance. The first detailed analytical account of the diplomatic impact made on the New Silk Road by various Japanese actors beyond formal diplomacy, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Japanese politics, as well as Asian politics and international politics more generally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Economic assistance, Japanese $z Asia, Central. 651 0 $a Japan $x Foreign relations $z Asia, Central. 651 0 $a Asia, Central $x Foreign relations $z Japan. 651 0 $a Japan $x Foreign economic relations $z Asia, Central. 651 0 $a Asia, Central $x Foreign economic relations $z Japan. 651 0 $a Japan $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 776 08 $i Online version: $a Murashkin, Nikolay. $s Oscillate mildly $t Japan and the New Silk Road. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020 $z 9780429024184 $w (DLC) 2019046428 830 0 $a Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702012529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9126D2CA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
