Reviews / Votes
"Japan in Central Asia . can be viewed as a welcome addition to this growing literature in the international relations study and comparative politics. It also stands as a useful contribution to the field of Japanese study . . Apart from shedding light on Japan's engagement in the largely understudied region, providing these triggers for future major research agendas can be seen as another important contribution this book makes to the field of international relations and Japanese studies." (Kuniko Ashizawa, International Relations of the Asia-Pacific, Vol. 17 (1), January, 2017)"Timur Dadabaev's book is a milestone, as it not only represents the first English-language monograph on this under-researched subject, but also as it is researched and written by a Central Asian scholar based in Japan. . Besides its scholarly implications for aseries of key disciplines, the volume is also useful for policymakers and practitioners. . Timur Dadabaev's intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking monograph has laid a remarkable foundation." (Nikolay Murashkin, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (9), 2016)
