FORTHCOMING JUNE 2026!<\/mark> <\/mark><\/strong>
Handbook of Japan-European Union Relations<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> will be published in June 2026 by Routledge. This Handbook explores the relationship between Japan and the European Union (EU). It first outline the political, cultural and historical context for the relationship, from the first encounter by Portuguese traders in the mid-16th century to the post-Cold War era highlighting how intellectual and cultural curiosity led to a genuine, mutual appreciation among Japanese and European societies. Contributions also explore the expansive areas of macroeconomics and trade relations between Japan and the EU, including larger developments such as the Japan-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) underscoring the significance of the Japanese-European trade relationship. In order to approach the broad topic of international relations between Japan and the EU, explorations of defence and foreign policy, as well as non-defence and security related joint cooperation, such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, are featured.<\/p>\n\n\n

NEW! <\/mark><\/strong> Indo-Pacific Diaspora in Peace and Conflict: Unity and Division in the Age of Transnational Repression<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>\u201d published by Routledge <\/em>in February 2026, explores critical political, cultural, and structural challenges facing Indo-Pacific diaspora communities through seven unique contexts, illuminating how these populations confront transnational repression and organizational fragmentation while rebuilding lives abroad. People from countries in the Indo-Pacific region have sought to resettle overseas, fleeing political unrest, ethnic conflict, political persecution and violence, discrimination and marginalization based on religious beliefs, and poor economic conditions. Drawing upon first-hand interviews, this book provides rich insights into the struggles of diaspora groups from Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, India, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Each chapter explores unique cultural, economic, and political barriers faced by these disparate communities, from maintaining identity to confronting surveillance by home governments, while examining how diaspora organizations pursue political change, justice for human rights abuses, and international advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n
