This book lies at the intersection between United Nations peacekeeping operations and India-Japan relations. While India has been at the forefront of UNPKO since its beginning, Japan due to its unique recent history and pacifist constitution is a more recent, hesitant and tentative contributors to overseas peaceful military operations. Instead, Japan is the second largest contributor to the UN’s regular and peacekeeping budgets and has provided some senior civilian representatives to specific peacekeeping operations. Both nations thus have a wealth of experience to exchange and share. This unique book is an attempt precisely at this even though this cooperation must remain situated within the broader context of their bilateral relationship. The participation of some of the most experienced practitioners from both countries in international peacekeeping operations lends this book its particular distinction and must be read with all the seriousness that this issue deserves.
