Features: Another significant work by the authoritative figure in the field of international political theory, Peter J. Katzenstein. Through a focused discussion on the cultural-institutional context of policy and how states, governments, and other actors construct identities, it explores and answers how social factors shape different aspects of Japan's security politics, thereby providing logical and constructive insights for both international and domestic security.
