Description
Japanese security, economic, institutional, and developmental policies have undergone a remarkable evolution in the 70 years since the end of World War II. In this volume, distinguished Japanese scholars reflect on the evolution of these policies and draw lessons for the coming decades. The pillars of Japan's reentry into the international community since 1945 remain no less important seven decades later as Japan's economy and society enter the next phase of maturity. The authors demonstrate the continuing viability of Japan's postwar strategic choices, as well as the inevitability of adaptation to challenging new circumstances. This book will be of interest to historians of U.S.-Japan relations and policy makers seeking to place today's policy issues in a historical context.
