Publisher: Stanford University Press

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Among the world's great industrial states, Japan is the newest, most dynamic, and most distinctive. Whether viewed as a model, a partner, or a threat, no country is more important or less understood. What are the central features of Japan's industrial system? What are the core institutions and practices that have to be understood in order to know how it functions? What sets it apart from other industrial systems, notably that of the United States? Is the Japanese system changing, and if so, how? These are the basic questions addressed in this volume, which presents in compact form the best thinking, the most stimulating arguments, and the classic interpretations of contemporary Japan. The book comprises 55 selections by economists, political scientists, anthropologists, business consultants, and others, which together give an unparalleled insight into the inner workings of the Japanese industrial system.

Inside Japanese Classrooms
Author: Nancy Sato
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135581649

Pages : 389
Book Description
This detailed ethnographic study of fifth- and sixth-grade classrooms offers new insights into Japanese culture, as many aspects of daily social life are embedded in the educational system. Additionally, this book provides new perspectives on educational reform in the U.S., since many current issues and programs focus on notions of community, collaboration, and systemic reform, all of which are central to understanding Japanese teaching-learning processes in schools.

Inside Japan's Defense
Author: Michael W. Chinworth
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
"In Inside Japan's Defense, noted defense analyst Michael W. Chinworth relates the dramatic story of Japan's recent defense industrial development and identifies the Japanese strategy for the year 2000. In the process, he examines the pattern of defense policies and procurement that have led Japan to its present position as a near military power in the region, asks why and how the world's second largest economic power buys its weapons, and speculates on how patterns may change in the future. He also demonstrates why and how the United States has contributed to Japan's military growth through generous technology transfers and the protection of their bilateral security treaty." "This important new book also contains lessons for a budget-conscious United States. Due to the new geopolitical balance and severe budget constraints, America of the 1990s faces the most radical restructuring of its defense posture since the end of World War II. The Japanese defense industry, on the other hand, has long operated in an austere economic and budgetary environment. Thus the Japanese are experienced at stretching every yen that goes into defense, and their defense community has already dealt with many of the problems just now facing American planners. According to Inside Japan's Defense, the Japanese have handled these problems very well. The issues covered in this book will be key topics of discussion during every future U.S. budget cycle."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Pages : 334
Book Description
Tracing Japanese Leftist Political Activism (1957–2017) tells the story of the Japanese Red Army (JRA), a militant left-wing group founded in 1971 which was involved in numerous terrorist attacks.
