Japan is still distrusted by many East Asian states and is involved in territorial and resource disputes with China and South Korea over the Senkaku (Diaoyu in Chinese) and Takeshima (Tok-do in Korean) islands respectively. At the same time, however, Japan can be said to have constructed carefully a set of special political relationships with the ASEAN states. This has been achieved through the conduct of regional summitry in the Japan-ASEAN Forum, the gradual upgrading of its diplomatic relations with South Korea, the attempt to improve relations with North Korea, and its engagement with China.

At the other side of the world, many Japanese seem to view the machinations of the EU as a complete mystery, such that ‘Europe’ still appears as a composite of separate countries. In spite of this apparent mutual neglect, however, the 1980s, 1990s and the start of the twenty-first century have witnessed growing signs of engagement between the Japanese government and businesses and their European counter-parts.
