"This book analyses Japan's security policy after the Cold War and engages with the question of whether, since the Cold War ended, Japan has again become a global security player. The contributions to the book explore Japan's security policy by providing a detailed overview of the evolution of Japan's security policy after the Cold War, including the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and the Senkaku/Daioyu Islands dispute. It also reveals the preeminent security concerns of contemporary Japan by delving into regional security issues such as the Layered Security of Okinawa, the increasing nuclear threat from North Korea, and the Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1995-6. The book culminates by discussing security in terms of the essential functions of energy, food, and human security, including an assessment of Japan's energy policy since World War II and an assessment of the impact food security on Japan's agriculture and trade. This book will be of interest to student and scholars of East Asian Politics, Security Studies and the International Relations of the Asia Pacific. It is also a valuable resource for diplomats and policymakers on Japan and East Asia"--

"This book provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of Russia's security policy. Based on extensive original research, including an analysis of official documents, political and military elite speeches, interviews, and reports, and considering the subject from the early twentieth century onwards, the book evaluates how far Russia's security policy is underpinned by "strategic asymmetry" - the acceptance by Russia of its inferior military position, and the pursuit of its strategic aims through the application of a variety of methods, military and non-military, including the manipulation of public opinion, the use of economic leverage and external security approaches - known as Russia's "hybrid war operations" - to gain the advantage over a militarily and economically superior adversary. The book discusses how Russia's security policy has been and is being applied in specific cases, including the present war in Ukraine, the Russian anti-satellite program and Russia's contemporary Afghan policy. The aim of the book is to explain how and why Russia uses different security strategies and methods using these three cases"--

Die sich allmählich entwickelnde europäische Cybersicherheitspolitik soll helfen, vereinbarte Mindeststandards in allen ihren Mitgliedstaaten umzusetzen, und zwar bei Prävention, Abwehrbereitschaft (resilience), Reaktion und internationaler Kooperation. Sie soll nationale Sicherheit befördern, jedoch ohne gegen demokratische Grundprinzipien zu verstoßen und die individuellen Freiheiten über Gebühr zu beschränken. Es ist nicht leicht, beides miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Daher stellt sich die Frage nach den demokratiepolitischen Implikationen der europäischen Cyberpolitik. Wie verhalten sich deren institutionelle Strukturen und Instrumente zu den Anforderungen demokratischen Regierens?

Um dies zu klären, werden zunächst die wesentlichen Herausforderungen für das Bemühen um mehr Sicherheit im Internet skizziert. Daraufhin wird die institutionelle Architektur der globalen Cybersicherheitspolitik umrissen, und die wichtigsten Organisationsprinzipien europäischer Cyberpolitik werden identifiziert. Schließlich wird bewertet, inwieweit diese Architektur mit demokratischen Grundsätzen vereinbar ist, und es werden Vorschläge diskutiert, wie mehr Sicherheit im Internet herzustellen wäre, ohne jene Prinzipien zu verletzen.(Autorenreferat)
