Britain outside Europe? A Japanese View

Japanese companies voice concern over a possible Brexit. A growing perception in Japan that Britain is becoming more fundamentalist and losing its traditionally pragmatic attitude towards the EU are hardly helpful for Britain itself, not only for public diplomacy, but also for doing business with Britain – regardless of the nation’s ultimate decision on its EU membership.

The German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) is Germany’s network for foreign policy. As an independent, non-partisan, and nonprofit membership organization, think tank, and publisher the DGAP has been promoting public debate on foreign policy in Germany for over 50 years.

The DGAP publishes the foreign policy magazine IP. The IP appears in German as a bimonthly print magazine and in English as an online magazine for German and European foreign policy.

IP Journal is the source for a German perspective on important foreign affairs issues, as well as in-depth analysis on central questions of German and European foreign policy from renowned authors and experts in and outside of Germany.
