Japan has consistently been pursuing the goal of a permanent UN Security Council seat for 30 years. The book investigates the motives for this ambition, and how it has been pursued domestically and internationally. It is therefore a study of the inner workings of the Japanese Foreign Ministry as well as of the country's underdeveloped multinational diplomacy.

REINHARD DRIFTE is Professor and Chair of Japanese Studies, Department of Politics, University of Newcastle and was Director of the Newcastle East Asia Centre from 1989-96.
