Summary:

The EU-Japan Security Dialogue: Invisible but Comprehensive examines the security dialogue between Japan and the EU from the establishment of the official European Community-Japan cooperation in the late 1950s until 2006. While most of scholarly works dealing with Europe-Japan relations focus on economic and trade issues, this book provides a basis for advanced discussion on security matters. It argues that the EU-Japan security dialogue takes place - and what is more, it is expanding. Olena Mykal investigates how international events - particularly the terrorist attacks in New York on 9/11 and the EU's proposal to lift its arms embargo on China - have strengthened the dialogue over the past decade.
