      abstract = {This book focuses on the lives and peace philosophy of  Japanese prime ministers from 1945 to the present,  attempting to extract one consistent political philosophy,  namely, the peace philosophy that has consistently  influenced Japans foreign and defense policy. Exploring the  meta-narrative of international relations and politics,  this book provides a new meta-analysis of the factors  underpinning Japanese politics, providing a timely insight  into one of Asia's most powerful yet enigmatic players in a  time of transformation. 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.  He is the author of The Abe Doctrine: Japans Proactive  Pacifism and Security Strategy (Palgrave Macmillan 2018)  and Japans Nuclear Identity and Its Implications for  Nuclear Identity (Palgrave Macmillan 2020).},
