Description
Comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis of contemporary Japan
Features leading scholars from around the globe providing an insiders' view on what happened in Japan and why its significant for understanding the challenges of a nation facing stark dilemmas
Delves deeply into the layers of a complex and increasingly diverse society in the context of simmering ethnonationalism, economic torpor, political stagnation and cultural dynamism
One of the few volumes to provide insights from the social sciences and humanities
Asia is in flux and here we examine how this is forcing Japan to question longstanding verities and values and what this portends for its future and regional relations
