I am truly grateful to have benefitted from his wise and insight- ful counsel that helped improve my research. I also want to thank Mr. Aidan Foster-Cater for his words of encouragement and Professor Peter van den Dungen for his wonderful friendship. I am also very grateful to my colleagues at the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA). They made my stay in Tokyo one of the great- est experiences of my life. My indebtedness, in particular, goes to Deputy Director General Toshiro Iijima and Professor Hideya Kurata for their incredible kindness and thoughtfulness. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my interviewees who will- ingly spared their precious time to help me with the research. I am impressed by their profound knowledge and intellectual generosity, and their scholarly advice and critical comments have been invaluable to my research. I also thank my editor, Jacob Dreyer, for recognizing the value of my research and taking a chance on a new author. Many thanks to my book reviewer, Professor Tae-hyun Nam, at Salisbury University, to whom I owe intellectual debts for his thorough examination of my research and subsequent suggestions for its improvement. Lastly, I would like my parents to know that their unending love and support have buttressed me and given me courage to take the next step forward. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to my beloved parents.
