520			_aJapan relies very heavily on sea transport for raw materials and trade, 42% of the latter and most of its energy imports transit the sea routes of Southeast Asia and the South China Sea. As China's economic and military growth continues Japan will be keen to use all means at its disposal to protect these vital economic lifelines. This book assesses how Japan has managed these interests since the start of the Second World War and what steps it may take in the future.
