Despite the growth and persistence of economic and cultural ties with our Pacific Rim neighbour, Canadians remain remarkably ill informed about the possibilities and limitations of connections with Japan.
Moving beyond popular myths, Pacific Partners considers the Japanese-Canadian relationship from a variety of perspectives. It charts the encounters between the two countries from the 19th century throug World War Two; explores our stereotypes of Japanese culture; and examines Japan's role as our second largest export market and third largest investor.
Pacific Partners is a lively and informative explanation of the many facets of Canada's relationship with one of the world's great economic powers.
