Jonathan Eyal, Michito Tsuruoka and Edward Schwarck (eds.), Partners for Global Security: New Directions for the UK-Japan Defence and Security Relationship, Whitehall Report, 3-15 (London: RUSI, 2015) is now available at the RUSI website.

This is a result of a joint research project between the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) in London and the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS) in Tokyo. I co-edited this with RUSI's Jonathan Eyal and Edward Schwarck. Seven researchers from the two institutes contributed to this volume as the following.
