JAPAN’S ENGAGEMENT IN THE GROUP OF SEVEN
Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal inter-governmental organization that associates seven advanced countries based on common Western values with leading influence in global economics and politics at forum. Japan is the only formal representative from Asia in the G7. This paper examines Japan's engagement in the G7 membership. Attention is given to Japanese foreign policy objectives and roles in the G7 programs following a brief comparison of selected parameters of G7 countries. Selected theoretical views on international organizations and the G7 are followed by an overview of Japan’s foreign policy priority objective-projections in the G7 agendas, and the roles Tokyo performs in line with these objectives. Japan’s membership in the G7 has been more constructive in recent years, and Japan’s engagement may acquire potential for some pragmatic ambitions.
