This volume examines the security dialogue between Japan and the European Union since the establishment of the official European Community-Japan cooperation efforts in the late 1950s. 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.
