Description
"This text provides an overview of the development and role of Japan within Pacific Asia and the wider global political system." "Japan's development is traced through four distinct historical phases before the key contemporary issues in the study of modern Japan are explored. Particularly examined are the trade, aid and investment links between Japan and Pacific Asia and the future economic prospects for this region." "The author also addresses a number of underlying themes including the intellectually contested nature of Pacific Asia, the extent to which it is possible to speak of a distinctive model of development and the implications of Japan's rise to regional and global power for future political and policy analysis." "Understanding Modern Japan is for all students and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary Japan, Pacific Asia and the dynamics of global politics."--Jacket.
