AB - It is hard to prove the trilateral cooperation between Korea, Japan, and China, albeit its necessity, appropriateness, and expectation. In addition, the issues of past history such as the bilateral history and territorial conflicts between the three nations have caused difficulties in the progress of trilateral cooperation. Nevertheless, three nations have reached agreements and continued its efforts towards cooperation. This study aims to explore the reasons why the three uncomfortable countries are trying to cooperate from the Japanese critical perspectives towards trilateral cooperation based on Japan’s perception on Korea and China, and international strategy towards Asia. As a result, it is observed that the importance of each country’s foreign policy to the other countries plays as a significant factor in promoting and advancing the trilateral cooperation. Meanwhile, the inherent historical conflicts between Korea-Japan and China-Japan are a factor to impede the cooperation between three countries. In this sense, Korea-China-Japan relations with ‘internal instability’ have formed ‘a tense ménage à trois’ which forms a ‘minimum amount of amicable relations’ within the framework of ‘trilateral cooperation’.
