Japan, the United States, and Latin America [PDF ebook] 
Toward a Trilateral Relationship in the Western Hemisphere?

This edited volume examines Japan’s increasing links with Latin America from three perspectives. First, the introduction looks at the US role in `mediating‘ Japan’s relations with Latin America. Second, three chapters by Japanese scholars offer their perspectives on the economic, political and cultural links between their country and the Latin American region. Finally, scholars from five Latin American countries – Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile and Panama – trace historical, current and future ties between Japan and their respective nations.
