Contesting Globalization and Internationalization of Higher Education Discourse and Responses in the Asia Pacific Region【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This edited volume brings together exciting new research and ideas related to the ongoing internationalization of higher education, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where this phenomenon has been rapidly developing in recent years. It also specifically focuses on analyzing the extent to which resurgent nationalisms from around the world effect the growth and direction of this sector of education. As cultural and political tensions rise globally, many are turning to educators and education researchers for suggestions on how to respond to this trend. This volume seeks to answer that call. Moreover, as authors share perspectives and data from a wide range of national and institutional contexts, the applicability of this volume extends beyond national or regional boundaries, offering questions, challenges, and lessons for educators worldwide.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	18,231円
American Amphibious Gunboats in World War II A History of LCI and LCS(L) Ships in the Pacific【電子書籍】[ Robin L. Rielly ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞As the United States began its campaign against numerous Japanese-held islands in the Pacific, Japanese tactics required them to develop new weapons and strategies. One of the most crucial to the island assaults was a new group of amphibious gunboats that could deliver heavy fire close in to shore as American forces landed. These gunboats were also to prove important in the interdiction of inter-island barge traffic and, late in the war, the kamikaze threat. Several variations of these gunboats were developed, based on the troop carrying LCI(L). They included three conversions of the LCI(L), with various combinations of guns, rockets and mortars, and a fourth gunboat, the LCS(L), based on the same hull but designed as a weapons platform from the beginning. By the end of the war the amphibious gunboats had proven their worth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,990円
Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies Conversations on Race and Racializations【電子書籍】[ Yasuko Takezawa ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies＜/em＞ is a unique collection of essays derived from a series of dialogues held in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Los Angeles on the issues of racializations, gender, communities, and the positionalities of scholars involved in Japanese American studies. The book brings together some of the most renowned scholars of the discipline in Japan and North America. It seeks to overcome past constraints of dialogues between Japan- and U.S.-based scholars by providing opportunities for candid, extended conversations among its contributors.＜/p＞＜p＞While each contribution focuses on the field of “Japanese American” studies, approaches to the subject varyーranging from national and village archives, community newspapers, personal letters, visual art, and personal interviews. Research papers are divided into six sections: Racializations, Communities, Intersections, Borderlands, Reorientations, and Teaching. Papers by one or two Japan-based scholar(s) are paired with a U.S.-based scholar, reflecting the book’s intention to promote dialogue and mutuality across national formations. The collection is also notable for featuring underrepresented communities in Japanese American studies, such as Okinawan “war brides,” Koreans, women, and multiracials.＜/p＞＜p＞Essays on subject positions raise fundamental questions: Is it possible to engage in a truly equal dialogue when English is the language used in the conversation and in a field where English-language texts predominate? How can scholars foster a mutual respect when U.S.-centrism prevails in the subject matter and in the field’s scholarly hierarchy? Understanding foundational questions that are now frequently unstated assumptions will help to disrupt hierarchies in scholarship and work toward more equal engagements across national divides. Although the study of Japanese Americans has reached a stage of maturity, contributors to this volume recognize important historical and contemporary neglects in that historiography and literature. Japanese America and its scholarly representations, they declare, are much too deep, rich, and varied to contain in a singular narrative or subject position.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,973円
A Region of Regimes Prosperity and Plunder in the Asia-Pacific【電子書籍】[ T. J. Pempel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞A Region of Regimes＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜strong＞traces the relationship between politics and economicsーpower and prosperityーin the Asia-Pacific in the decades since the Second World War.＜/strong＞ This book complicates familiar and incomplete narratives of the "Asian economic miracle" to show radically different paths leading to high growth for many but abject failure for some. T. J. Pempel analyzes policies and data from ten East Asian countries, categorizing them into three distinct regime types, each historically contingent and the product of specific configurations of domestic institutions, socio-economic resources, and external support.＜/p＞＜p＞Pempel identifies Japan, Korea, and Taiwan as developmental regimes, showing how each then diverged due to domestic and international forces. North Korea, Myanmar, and the Philippines (under Marcos) comprise "rapacious regimes" in this analysis, while Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand form "ersatz developmental regimes." Uniquely, China emerges as an evolving hybrid of all three regime types. ＜em＞A Region of Regimes＜/em＞ concludes by showing how the shifting interactions of these regimes have profoundly shaped the Asia-Pacific region and the globe across the postwar era.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,383円
Rethinking Japanese Studies Eurocentrism and the Asia-Pacific Region【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Japanese Studies has provided a fertile space for non-Eurocentric analysis for a number of reasons. It has been embroiled in the long-running internal debate over the so-called Nihonjinron, revolving around the extent to which the effective interpretation of Japanese society and culture requires non-Western, Japan-specific emic concepts and theories. This book takes this question further and explores how we can understand Japanese society and culture by combining Euro-American concepts and theories with those that originate in Japan. Because Japan is the only liberal democracy to have achieved a high level of capitalism outside the Western cultural framework, Japanese Studies has long provided a forum for deliberations about the extent to which the Western conception of modernity is universally applicable. Furthermore, because of Japan’s military, economic and cultural dominance in Asia at different points in the last century, Japanese Studies has had to deal with the issues of Japanocentrism as well as Eurocentrism, a duality requiring complex and nuanced analysis.＜/p＞＜p＞This book identifies variations amongst Japanese Studies academic communities in the Asia-Pacific and examines the extent to which relatively autonomous scholarship, intellectual approach or theories exist in the region. It also evaluates how studies on Japan in the region contribute to global Japanese Studies and explores their potential for formulating concrete strategies to unsettle Eurocentric dominance of the discipline.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,338円

California Burning The Fall of Pacific Gas and Electric--and What It Means for America's Power Grid【電子書籍】[ Katherine Blunt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞NATIONAL BESTSELLER＜/em＞＜br /＞ 2022 Winner of the Golden Poppy Award for Nonfiction (California Independent Booksellers Alliance)＜/p＞＜p＞A revelatory, urgent narrative with national implications, exploring the decline of California’s largest utility company that led to countless wildfires ー including the one that destroyed the town of Paradise ー and the human cost of infrastructure failure＜/p＞＜p＞Pacific Gas and Electric was a legacy company built by innovators and visionaries, establishing California as a desirable home and economic powerhouse. In ＜em＞California Burning, Wall Street Journal＜/em＞ reporter and Pulitzer finalist Katherine Blunt examines how that legacy fell apartーunraveling a long history of deadly failures in which Pacific Gas and Electric endangered millions of Northern Californians, through criminal neglect of its infrastructure. As PG&E prioritized profits and politics, power lines went uncheckedーuntil a rusted hook purchased for 56 cents in 1921 split in two, sparking the deadliest wildfire in California history.＜/p＞＜p＞Beginning with PG&E’s public reckoning after the Paradise fire, Blunt chronicles the evolution of PG&E’s shareholder base, from innovators who built some of California's first long-distance power lines to aggressive investors keen on reaping dividends. Following key players through pivotal decisions and legal battles, ＜em＞California Burning＜/em＞ reveals the forces that shaped the plight of PG&E: deregulation and market-gaming led by Enron Corp., an unyielding push for renewable energy, and a swift increase in wildfire risk throughout the West, while regulators and lawmakers pushed their own agendas.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞California Burning＜/em＞ is a deeply reported, character-driven narrative, the story of a disaster expanding into a much bigger exploration of accountability. It’s an American tragedy that serves as a cautionary tale for utilities across the nationーespecially as climate change makes aging infrastructure more vulnerable, with potentially fatal consequences.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,872円
Navigating International Order Transition in the Indo-Pacific【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book examines how major powers in the Indo-Pacific region cope with and respond to the potential order transition against the background of the strategic competition between the US and China.＜br /＞ The world is in a crisis and the liberal international order is at stake with the Covid pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war indicating a possible order transition in the international system. The Indo Pacific region has become the focal point of intense competition between the United States and China. Against this backdrop, the chapters in this volume explore how policy elites in the area have attempted to address the potential order transition, and how different states - including great and middle powers - have been employing various strategies to deal with the security and economic challenges in the region. The complexity of the international order has made this order transition particularly challenging, making it a difficult time for both state leaders and scholars alike. It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times.＜br /＞ This book provides an academic platform for graduate students, scholars and policy experts to approach this topic from different theoretical and national perspectives.

Seeking Refuge Birds and Landscapes of the Pacific Flyway【電子書籍】[ Robert M Wilson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Each fall and spring, millions of birds travel the Pacific Flyway, the westernmost of the four major North American bird migration routes. The landscapes they cross vary from wetlands to farmland to concrete, inhabited not only by wildlife but also by farmers, suburban families, and major cities. In the twentieth century, farmers used the wetlands to irrigate their crops, transforming the landscape and putting migratory birds at risk. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service responded by establishing a series of refuges that stretched from northern Washington to southern California.＜/p＞＜p＞What emerged from these efforts was a hybrid environment, where the distinctions between irrigated farms and wildlife refuges blurred. Management of the refuges was fraught with conflicting priorities and practices. Farmers and refuge managers harassed birds with shotguns and flares to keep them off private lands, and government pilots took to the air, dropping hand grenades among flocks of geese and herding the startled birds into nearby refuges. Such actions masked the growing connections between refuges and the land around them.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Seeking Refuge＜/em＞ examines the development and management of refuges in the wintering range of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. Although this is a history of efforts to conserve migratory birds, the story Robert Wilson tells has considerable salience today. Many of the key places migratory birds use ー the Klamath Basin, California’s Central Valley, the Salton Sea ー are sites of recent contentious debates over water use. Migratory birds connect and depend on these landscapes, and farmers face pressure as water is reallocated from irrigation to other purposes. In a time when global warming promises to compound the stresses on water and migratory species, ＜em＞Seeking Refuge＜/em＞ demonstrates the need to foster landscapes where both wildlife and people can thrive.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,973円
Achieving Sustainable E-Government in Pacific Island States【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book analyzes the common set of obstacles to the development and integration of government Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects and effective e-government initiatives in developing countries. It draws on the expertise and experience of more developed states in the Pacific, notably Australia and New Zealand, both highly rated in global rankings for e-government and active in a variety of e-government development projects across the region.＜/p＞＜p＞There has been a general failure to identify priorities and align projects with local needs in ICT/e-government projects. Small Island Developing States (or SIDS) present a unique problem in terms of e-government. Not only do they suffer from a common set of barriers to ICT development such as their remoteness, geographical dispersion, moist tropical climates, largely rural populations, and lack of ICT capacity and infrastructure, but are also dependent on external agencies for investment, and must negotiate with powerful donors who have conflicting agendas.＜/p＞＜p＞E-government is widely regarded as 'transformational', increasing efficiency, productivity, accountability, economic growth, and citizen involvement. But while the governments of SIDS are committed to harnessing ICTs for effective government and economic development, they face major challenges in establishing successful e-government initiatives, due to the problems outlined above, coupled with a lack of HR capacities and appropriate strategies and policies.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing on the experience of the states mentioned above, as well as regional quasi-governmental bodies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), aid agencies, and the private sector, the book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of e-government, public administration, political science, communication, information science, and social media.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	20,662円

Dogfight over Tokyo The Final Air Battle of the Pacific and the Last Four Men to Die in World War II【電子書籍】[ John Wukovits ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞From an expert in the Pacific theater of World War II comes the tragic story of the pilots who fought the last fight of the war during the first hour of peace＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When Billy Hobbs and his fellow Hellcat aviators from Air Group 88 lifted off from the venerable Navy carrier USS ＜em＞Yorktown＜/em＞ early on the morning of August 15, 1945, they had no idea they were about to carry out the final air mission of World War II. Two hours later, ＜em＞Yorktown＜/em＞ received word from Admiral Nimitz that the war had ended and that all offensive operations should cease. As they were turning back, twenty Japanese planes suddenly dove from the sky above them and began a ferocious attack. Four American pilots never returnedーmen who had lifted off from the carrier in wartime but were shot down during peacetime.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing on participant letters, diaries, and interviews, newspaper and radio accounts, and previously untapped archival records, historian and prolific author of acclaimed Pacific theater books, including ＜em＞Tin Can Titans＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Hell from the Heavens＜/em＞, John Wukovits tells the story of Air Group 88's pilots and crew through their eyes. ＜em＞Dogfight over Tokyo＜/em＞ is written in the same riveting, edge-of-your-seat style that has made Wukovits's previous books so successful. This is a stirring, one-of-a-kind tale of naval encounters and the last dogfight of the warーa story that is both inspirational and tragic.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,603円
Railroad 1869 Along the Historic Union Pacific Across Wyoming【電子書籍】[ Eugene Miller ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In 1864 when construction of the transcontinental railroad was begun the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads were a "whole country" apart. Although the Union Pacific faltered at first, taking three years to cross Nebraska, the incentives of land grants and government bonds for completed mileage proved a powerful incentive for more speed.＜br /＞ In Wyoming they faced the bone chilling early months and sweltering summer, then the construction challenge of the climb up "Sherman Hill", bridging Dale Creek, crossing the Great Divide Desert and the never ending search for water. The surveyors and construction crews were repeatedly challenged by attacking Indians, and the new towns were overrun by outlaws, whiskey mills, and "ladies-of-the-night". But with unrelenting drive they crossed entire Wyoming, nearly 500 miles, in only 14 months.＜br /＞ In this book the readers will fight off the Indians attacking the survey parties near Pine Bluffs, visit the hectic town of Cheyenne as they build up supplies for the coming months, gasp as the bridge builders erect a swaying bridge across Dale Creek, arrive in Laramie to photograph the triple "neck-tie" party that rid the town of the most egregious lawbreakers, struggle across the life-draining desert and two continental divides, and escape from the mob in Bear River City to arrive at Evanston to find the railroad already in Wasatch.＜br /＞ During the Union Pacific's first years young photographer Arundel C. Hull followed the rails taking some of the very earliest photographs of the wild town and their inhabitants.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	359円
Poisoning the Pacific The US Military's Secret Dumping of Plutonium, Chemical Weapons, and Agent Orange【電子書籍】[ Jon Mitchell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this devastating expos?, investigative journalist Jon Mitchell reveals the shocking toxic contamination of the Pacific Ocean and millions of victims by the US military.＜/p＞＜p＞For decades, US military operations have been contaminating the Pacific region with toxic substances, including plutonium, dioxin, and VX nerve agent. Hundreds of thousands of service members, their families, and residents have been exposedーbut the United States has hidden the damage and refused to help victims.＜/p＞＜p＞After World War II, the United States granted immunity to Japanese military scientists in exchange for their data on biological weapons tests conducted in China; in the following years, nuclear detonations in the Pacific obliterated entire islands and exposed Americans, Marshallese, Chamorros, and Japanese fishing crews to radioactive fallout. At the same time, the United States experimented with biological weapons on Okinawa and stockpiled the island with nuclear and chemical munitions, causing numerous accidents. Meanwhile, the CIA orchestrated a campaign to introduce nuclear power to Japanーthe folly of which became horrifyingly clear in the 2011 meltdowns in Fukushima Prefecture.＜/p＞＜p＞Caught in a geopolitical grey zone, US territories have been among the worst affected by military contamination, including Guam, Saipan, and Johnston Island, the final disposal site of apocalyptic volumes of chemical weapons and Agent Orange.＜/p＞＜p＞Accompanying this damage, US authorities have waged a campaign of cover-ups, lies, and attacks on the media, which the author has experienced firsthand in the form of military surveillance and attempts by the State Department to impede his work. Now, for the first time, this explosive book reveals the horrific extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the Pentagon will go to conceal it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,639円

B?la Bart?k und Arthur Honegger als Futuristen? Das 'Allegro barbaro' und 'Pacific 231'【電子書籍】[ Cornelia Richter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Musikwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Martin-Luther-Universit?t Halle-Wittenberg (Institut f?r Musikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Kunst und Musik des Futurismus, 19 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der musikalische Futurismus wollte vieles erreichen. Im Sinne der Bewegung im Allgemeinen wollte oder sollte man komplett mit der Tradition brechen, ja auf radikalste Weise alles bisher Dagewesene erneuern; somit sollte eine 'revolution?r neue ?sthetik' entstehen, deren 'Mittelpunkt [...] die Verherrlichung der modernen Industrie- und Maschinenwelt' sein sollte. Die Strategien zur Erreichung dieses neuen ?sthetischen Ideals beinhalteten die Liebe zur Gefahr, K?hnheit, Beweglichkeit, Dynamik und Geschwindigkeit. In der Musik im Speziellen waren die theoretischen Maxime etwa bezogen auf eine Forderung nach Enharmonik und auf eine Einf?hrung des 'ritmo libero' nach dem Beispiel des 'verso libero' in der Poesie. Der italienische Komponist und Futurist Fr. Balilla Pratella forderte eine 'Erweiterung der tonalen Basis in Richtung auf Polytonalit?t und Polymodalit?t.' Im Fr?hjahr 1913 wurde das Manifest 'L'arte dei rumori' von Luigi Russolo ?ffentlich; er strebte eine Ersetzung der traditionellen Orchesterkl?nge durch Ger?usche an, und brachte so ein v?llig neues Konzept von Klang zur Diskussion. Es waren Ideen wie diese, die den gesellschaftlichen Kunstbegriff umformen und endlich die starren Formen und Kl?nge der alten Welt vergessen machen sollten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird untersucht, inwiefern Bart?ks Allegro barbaro und Honeggers Pacific 231 diesen Bruch mit der Tradition erreichen konnten oder wollten, und welche Einstellung die Komponisten zum Futurismus hegten...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,373円
Red Star over the Pacific, Second Edition China's Rise and the Challenge to U.S. Maritime Strategy【電子書籍】[ Toshi Yoshihara ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Combining a close knowledge of Asia and an ability to tap Chinese-language sources with naval combat experience and expertise in sea-power theory, the authors assess how the rise of Chinese sea power will affect U.S. maritime strategy in Asia. They argue that China has laid the groundwork for a sustained challenge to American primacy in maritime Asia, and to defend this hypothesis they look back to Alfred Thayer Mahan’s sea-power theories, now popular with the Chinese. The book considers how strategic thought about the sea shapes Beijing’s deliberations and compares China’s geostrategic predicament to that of the Kaiser’s Germany a century ago. It examines the Chinese navy’s operational concepts, tactics, and capabilities and appraises China’s missile force. The authors conclude that China now presents a challenge to America’s strategic position of such magnitude that Washington must compete in earnest.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,160円

Battle of Midway America's Decisive Strike in the Pacific in WWII【電子書籍】[ John Grehan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands on 7 December 1941, had severely damaged the United States Pacific Fleet but had not destroyed it, for the fleet’s aircraft carrier force had been at sea when the Japanese struck. This meant that, despite the overwhelming success of Japanese military forces across the Pacific, US carrier-based aircraft could still attack Japanese targets.＜/p＞＜p＞After the Battle of the Coral Sea in early May 1942, in which both sides had lost one carrier, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, calculated that the US had only two serviceable carriers left. If those remaining carriers could be lured into a battle with the Combined Fleet and destroyed, nothing could stop the Japanese achieving complete control of the South Pacific.＜/p＞＜p＞It would take the United States many months, even with its massive industrial muscle, to rebuild its carried fleet if it was destroyed, by which time Japan would be able to secure the raw materials needed to keep its war machine functioning and to build all the bases it required across the Pacific, which would enable its aircraft to dominate the entire region.＜/p＞＜p＞Aware of the sensitivity of the Americans towards Hawaii after the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto believed that if he attacked there again, the US commander, Admiral Nimitz would be certain to commit all his strength to its defence. Yamamoto selected the furthest point of the Hawaiian Islands, the Naval Air Station on the Midway Atoll, for his attack, which was beyond the range of most US land-based aircraft.＜/p＞＜p＞Yamamoto launched his attack on 4 June 1942. But the US had intercepted and deciphered Japanese signals and Nimitz, with three not two aircraft carriers, knew exactly Yamamoto’s plans. Yamamoto had hoped to draw the US carriers into his trap but instead he sailed into an ambush.＜/p＞＜p＞The four-day battle resulted in the loss of all four Japanese aircraft carriers, the US losing only one. The Japanese were never able to recover from these losses, and it was the Americans who were able to take control of the Pacific. The Battle of Midway, unquestionably, marked the turning point in the war against Japan.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	661円
The Importance of Shinzo Abe India, Japan and the Indo-Pacific【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Shinzo Abe, who was tragically assassinated on 8 July 2022, is widely regarded as the most influential Prime Minister of post-war Japan. Not only was he Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister, but he is also credited with giving a new direction to the country's economic, foreign and national-security policies.＜/p＞＜p＞Abe left an indelible imprint on Japan-India relations, establishing close ties with two successive Indian Prime Ministers and signing up to a new global and strategic partnership between Asia's major democracies.

Building on the 'Confluence of the Two Seas' in his historic address to the Indian Parliament in August 2007, Abe became the architect of the Quadrilateral Security Initiative, known as the Quad.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The Importance of Shinzo Abe＜/em＞ brings together experts from diverse backgrounds to evaluate Abe's unparalleled contribution to global security and the future of Asia and Japan-India relations.

The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific Strategy, Order, and Regional Security【電子書籍】[ Alessio Patalano ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A new framework contextualizes crucial international security issues at sea in the Indo-Pacific＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Competition at sea is once again a central issue of international security. Nowhere is the urgency to address state-on-state competition at sea more strongly felt than in the Indo-Pacific region, where freedom of navigation is challenged by regional states’ continuous investments in naval power, and the renewed political will to use it to undermine its principles.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific＜/em＞ provides an original framework in which five “factors of influence” explain how and why naval power matters in this pivotal part of the world. An international group of contributors make the case that these five factors draw upon a longstanding influence of naval power on regional dynamics and impact the extent to which different states in the region use naval power: the capacity to exert control over sea-lanes, the capacity to deploy a nuclear deterrent at sea, the capacity to implement the law of the sea in an advantageous way, the ability to control marine resources, and the capacity for technological innovation.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific＜/em＞ offers a fresh approach for academics and policy makers seeking to navigate the complexity of maritime security and regional affairs.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,215円
British Pacific Fleet 1944?45 The Royal Navy in the downfall of Japan【電子書籍】[ Brian Lane Herder ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An illustration-packed new account of the powerful Royal Navy fleet that fought alongside the US Navy throughout the last year of the Pacific War.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞The British Pacific Fleet was the Royal Navy's primary contribution to the direct defeat of Japan in 1945, and is among the most powerful fleets Britain has ever sent into action. With naval supremacy in home waters achieved by 1944, many of the best and most modern ships in the Royal Navy could be sent to the Pacific, including battleships, submarines, light forces, replenishment groups, and shore establishment. However, the main striking force was the fast carrier force.＜/p＞＜p＞Illustrated throughout with dramatic new artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and archive photos, this book explains how the Royal Navy joined the Pacific carrier war, and how the fleet adopted the US Navy's ruthlessly effective fast carrier doctrine. With ships optimized for short-range operations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the BPF had to rapidly adapt to the long-range, high-tempo warfare of the Pacific, and the story is often one of inspired improvisation. The BPF shared the US Navy's terrifying experience of kamikaze strikes, and famously its armoured carriers proved tougher than the US counterparts.＜/p＞＜p＞With discussion of the ships, their technology, how the fleet was organized and commanded, and how it fought the campaign, this book is a fascinating exploration of the Royal Navy's part in the victory over Japan.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,089円
