Abstract

What is Africa's place in Japanese diplomatic thought, and what are the driving forces of Japan's African diplomacy in the new century? The need to maintain continuity in Japan's post-Cold War Africa policy, leadership style, and priorities of Japan's prime ministers, as well as broader considerations of the nation's vital interests, are all relevant factors for understanding Japan's diplomacy toward Africa in the new century.
