Abstract
In the post-war period Australian prime ministers have played a pro-active role in formulating foreign policy towards Japan. This paper explores the role of executive leadership towards Japan and its impact on the bilateral relationship. The Howard era and Rudd-led initiatives on whaling, nuclear disarmament, climate change and regional architecture are discussed.
