The evolution of Japan's 'misplacement': from the Meiji Restoration to the Post-Cold war era/ 
Kei Koga 
 -  2020 
<br/><br/> Briefly discuss the concept of a 'misplaced state', its theoretical connection to role theory, particularly the role location process, and the development of Japan's different regional identities. Next, I will focus on three periods in Japanese history, namely the period from the Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War, from the end of World War II to the end of the Cold War, and after the Cold War. Finally, I will analyse the elastic nature of Japan's regional identity and discuss its implications of Japan's changing role in the future of Asia.
