Abstract

Japan's relations with Asia continue to be colored by memories of war; the term "pan-Asia'' indelibly inscribed with Japan's transgressions against its neighbors. This chapter returns to an earlier time, the 1920s and early 1930s, a time when Japan, as the first Asian nation to hold a permanent seat in the League of Nations, played a significant role in international governance and the maintenance of world peace, when Japan's empire facilitated intra-Asian intellectual exchange, and when many Asians looked to Japan for leadership.
