Reviews

Japan's International Fisheries Policy provides a useful overview of the topic and fills a lacuna in the literature between studies of Japanese fisheries and food security policies more generally, studies of Japan's role in specific international fisheries, and the literature on international fisheries politics that takes Japanese policy as a given rather than examining its development over time. J. Samuel Barkin, University of Massachusetts Boston, Journal of Japanese Studies Japan's International Fisheries Policy is a useful book for scholars and students of Japan's foreign policy, as well as of its domestic politics relating to food and other marine resources over the decades since World War II. It is also a good reference work for people interested in international ocean governance, where Japan is a key player, as a fishing state, as a major supporter of multilateral measures to promote food security through fisheries, and as a big bilateral aid donor for fisheries in developing countries. Kate Barclay, Pacific Affairs: Volume 89, No. 3 - September 2016
