    BANKING ON THE FUTURE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC Banking on the Future of Asia and the Pacifi c 50 Years of the Asian Development Bank This book is a history of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank established 50 years ago to serve Asia and the Pacifi c. Focusing on the region’s BANK DEVELOPMENT YEARS OF THE ASIAN economic development, the evolution of the international development agenda, and the story of ADB itself, Banking on the Future of Asia and the Pacifi c raises several key questions: What are the outstanding features of regional development to which ADB had to respond? How has the bank grown and evolved in changing circumstances? How did ADB’s successive leaders promote reforms while preserving continuity with the e orts of their predecessors? ADB has played an important role in the transformation of Asia and the Pacifi c over the past 50 years. As ADB continues to evolve and adapt to the region’s changing development landscape, the experiences highlighted in this book can provide valuable insight on how best to serve Asia and the Pacifi c in the future.

    t- 0 C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L ciA7t-e gg C 3 - NO FOREIGN DISSEM KAYA, Okinori JAPAN MINISTER OF JUSTICE Okinori Kaya, newly appointed Minister of Justice, has been an influential figure on the Japanese political scene for many years. Before his current appointment, Kaya had served since July 1962 as Chairman of the Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP) Policy Board. A chief policy maker and leading economic and financial expert in the LDP, Kaya has been described as an "elder statesman" ranking just below former Prime Ministers Shigeru Yoshida and Nobusuke Kishi. Despite ten years of imprisonment after World War II as a result of his service in the wartime Tbjo cabinet, Kaya is described as pro-American; he is an advocate of Japanese rearmament and was active in the cam- paign for revision of the US-Japan Security Treaty. A member of the House of Representatives from Tokyos third district since May 1958, Kaya has also served the LDP as Chairman of its Social Security Research Council (1960-1961) and of its Foreign Affairs Research Council (1959- 1960). During 1959 he also served as an adviser to the Economic De- velopment Promotion Committee. Formerly a member of the Kishi faction, Kaya aligned himself with neither of the groups formed after-Kishi dissolved his faction in November 1962. He is now considered to hold no formal factional affiliation, but he has in general cooperated with Prime Minister Ikeda. Kaya was born on 30 January 1889, the third son of the chief priest of a large Shinto shrine in Yamaguchi prefecture.

  • The Development of US Extended Nuclear Deterrence Over Japan: a Study of Invisible Deterrence Between 1945 and 1970
    The University Of Reading The Development of US Extended Nuclear Deterrence over Japan: A Study of Invisible Deterrence between 1945 and 1970 Hiroshi Nakatani PhD, Politics Department of Politics and International Relations February 2019 Declaration of Original Authorship Declaration: I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all materials from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged Hiroshi Nakatani 1 This thesis is dedicated to the late Colonel Matuo Keiichi for his service to Japan. 2 Acknowledgments Throughout my PhD life, many people and institutions have thoughtfully supported and encouraged my work. It is probably most appropriate to begin by acknowledging the School of Politics, International Relations and Economics, University of Reading for its financial assistance for three years. I am also extremely indebted to the Lyndon Johnson Library, the British Association for Japanese Studies and Reading Travel Research Grants for providing me with research grants, which enabled me to travel and research abroad. Without their generous financial support, this research project would not have been possible. I would also like to express my appreciation to my supervisors. I have been fortunate to have three supervisors. It was my greatest honour to work under Professor Beatrice Heuser, for whom I came to Reading. She has taught me many invaluable things which otherwise I could have never learned. She has taught me how to conduct great research and treat your students in particular. As a matter of fact, finding a greater supervisor than her can be more difficult to finish a PhD. I would also like to thank Professor Alan Cromartie for his supervision and patience.

  • Network Connections and the Emergence of the Hub-And-Spokes
    Hub-and-Spokes Alliance System Network Connections Yasuhiro Izumikawa and the Emergence of the Hub-and-Spokes Alliance System in East Asia Why did the hub- and-spokes alliance system emerge in East Asia? Why did a multilateral alli- ance system not form there during the Cold War, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created in Europe? During the early 1950s, the United States successively concluded bilateral alliances in East Asia; it did so with Japan in September 1951, with the Republic of Korea (hereafter ROK or South Korea) in October 1953, and with the Republic of China (hereafter Taiwan) in December 1954. Ever since John Foster Dulles, the U.S. secretary of state during the Dwight Eisenhower administration, referred to these allies as “spokes on a wheel,” the term hub-and-spokes has become a popular meta- phor to describe the U.S. alliance system in East Asia.1 Scholars of international relations theory have been trying to explain the ab- sence of an alliance system in Asia similar to NATO.2 This article joins the efforts to address this question, focusing on three U.S. bilateral alliances that Yasuhiro Izumikawa is Professor at the Faculty of Policy Studies at Chuo University, Japan. The author thanks the anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments. He is also grateful to the following individuals for their helpful comments on the earlier versions of this article: Nicho- las Anderson, Victor Cha, Timothy Crawford, Yong Deng, Iain Henry, Sean Lynn-Jones, Tongª Kim, Evan Resnick, Yuan-kang Wang, David Wolff, and Toshio Yamagishi.

  • THE PROBLEM of SECURITY TREATY REVISION in JAPAN's RELATIONS with the UNITED STATES= 1951-1960T
    THE PROBLEM OF SECURITY TREATY REVISION IN JAPAN'S RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES= 1951-1960t TADASHI ARUGA* It may be said that U.S.-Japanese relations entered a new phase around each turn of decade in the past thirty years : in 1951, there was the San Francisco Peace Settlement; in 1 960, a new bilateral security treaty was concluded, and its ratification caused a political tur- moil in Japan ; in 1971, there were two "Nixon shocks," and the Okinawa reversion took place in the following year; and then in the 1980s, U.S.-Japanese relations began to have new im- portance as leading Americans came to recognize great potentiality in the development of the Pacific Basin community. Seen from the vantage point of the mid-1980s, the San Francisco Peace and the episode of 1960 obviously belong to another era, during which the U.S. continued to play the role of the powerful, confident and generous protector of the Free World. Great change has taken place since 1960 in both countries, their mutual relations, and the international context of their relations, although the U.S.-Japanese alliance has survived these years of change. This paper is the part one of a review of Japanese relations with the United States from 1951 to the present. The paper deals with mainly the years from 1951 to the early 1960s, with a main focus on the issue of security treaty revision. Although Japanese relations with the United States since the middle of the 1960s will be dealt with in another paper, the last section of this paper will atempt to place the issue in a historical perspective.
