Summary:

"Focusing on the significance of the Greater East Asia policies promoted by Prime Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru during World War II - including the issues of approving independence for Burma and the Philippines as well as the liberation of French Indochina - Prof. Hatano Sumio sheds light on the formation and evolution of Japan's diplomacy in Asia.
