This book is a collection of eight papers by Japanese and American scholars presented at a 1994 meeting sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Chapters examine the legal and policy rationales for United Nations peacekeeping operations, how domestic politics in Japan and the U.S. have affected the two countries' participation in U. N. peace operations to date, and thirdly, possible future cooperation between the United States and Japan in U.N. peacekeeping on the basis of existing bilateral U.S. - Japan security agreements.
