This book represents volume one of the writings of David Sissons, who for most of his career pioneered research on the history of relations between Australia and Japan. Much of what he wrote remained unpublished at the time of his death in 2006, and so the editors have included a selection of his hitherto unpublished work along with some of his published writings.

Yen for Development: Japanese Foreign Aid and the Politics of Burden-Sharing
Japan has just replaced the United States as the world's top donor of foreign aid. Yet many, particularly in the United States, believe that while Japan is doing more, it is not doing enough. To study this issue, the Council on Foreign Relations convened a group of distinguished Japanese and American aid experts, academics, and officials from the two countries and multilateral development institutions. Their Findings, contained in a series of ess…
Cry Havoc: Public Opinion and Recent Australia-Japan Relations
The Australian phobia about the threat of Asia is legendary. The experience of some Australians in the hands of the Japanese during the Second World War reinforced in the minds of many others the sense of threat that Australians have traditionally expressed about Japan. In the postwar political relationship between Japan and Australia, the impact of public opinion on policy has been considerable. This article takes up the issue of public opinion …
Advertising and popular culture in Japan
There can be no doubt about the exposure of Japanese society and culture to advertising. It is pervasive and, for some, invasive. Japan’s media society has made Japanese advertising into a multinational business in its own right; at home, it has become an art form. This essay will examine what little information is available to us in English about Japanese advertising, and place it in the context of Western popular culture studies of Japan

It traces the important early steps in Japan…
