Friends Or Rivals? offers a comprehensive analysis of Japan policy under the Bush and Clinton administrations. Here too are Armacost's predictions and suggestions for the future.
Armacost examines the promise and frustrations of interdependencies at a time when the world is changing. He chronicles American efforts to reduce a massive trade imbalance, arrange a more equitable sharing of mutual defense costs, elicit a substantial Japanese contribution to the multilateral alliance during the Gulf war, and design a global diplomatic parternship with Tokyo.
An authoritative account of U.S.-Japanese relations, Friends or Rivals? is also a provocative ambassadorial memoir. Michael Armacost reveals candidly his own perception of the power brokers he has worked with that define and continue to define the terms of U.S.-Japan relations.
