This book will interest scholars of international relations, those watching Asia in transition, and journalists. Daisuke Akimoto, Ph.D., is an adjunct fellow of the Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies at Temple University Japan Campus and former Assistant Professor at the Soka University Peace Research Institute.
