Introduction : enigmatic power? -- Conceptual and analytical framework: relational power -- Empirical focus: Japan's China policy -- Case 1: negotiating investment protection -- Case 2: interaction over the Pinnacle Islands -- Conclusion: intelligible power.

Japan's China Policy understands Japan's foreign policy in terms of power - one of the most central concepts of political analysis. It contributes a fresh understanding to the subject by developing relational power as an analytical framework and by applying it to significant issues in Japan's China policy: the negotiations for a bilateral investment protection treaty and the disputed Pinnacle (Senkaku/Diaoyu) Islands. Hagström demonstrates that Japan exerted power over China in such divergent empirical settings for the most part by using civilian instruments positively.
