ReviewsDickinson has persuasively repositioned the relationship between external events and Japanese imperialism. He has done so by demonstrating how, during the First World War, the ideologies of the Western combatants, first Britain vs. Germany, then Germany vs. the United States, resonated with major political groupings in Japan in ways that reshaped the Japanese domestic debate and national aspirations. This admirably researched, imaginatively conceived, and satisfyingly literate work of scholarship marks the appearance of a very talented young historian., In scholarship, this work is very close to the best that has been produced in European international history in the last ten or twelve years. Dickinson's book brings the study of Japan during the war to the level attained by studies of the European powers and the United States. It is an exciting monograph, effective, non-dogmatic, and authoritative., Basing his work on extensive archival research, Dickinson provides a new reading of the complex debates about Japan's diplomatic relations that took place during the critical WWI years., This is among the very best books on diplomatic and political history published in the last decade or so. It is very well written, copiously researched, and very ably argued. It is provocative in its interpretation and very sophisticated in its argument. No doubt it will join a handful of others on the topic of WWI era foreign policy and will become a standard for excellent scholarship in the genre.

SynopsisFor Japan, as one of the victorious allies, World War I meant territorial gains in China and the Pacific. At the end of the war, however, Japan discovered that in modeling itself on imperial Germany since the nineteenth century, it had perhaps been imitating the wrong national example. Japanese policy debates during World War I, particularly the clash between proponents of greater democratization and those who argued for military expansion, thus became part of the ongoing discussion of national identity among Japanese elites. This study links two sets of concerns--the focus of recent studies of the nation on language, culture, education, and race; and the emphasis of diplomatic history on international developments--to show how political, diplomatic, and cultural concerns work together to shape national identity., This study links two sets of concerns--the focus of recent studies of the nation on language, culture, education, and race; and the emphasis of diplomatic history on international developments--to show how political, diplomatic, and cultural concerns work together to shape national identity.
