Opis: Dictionary of the Modern Politics of Japan - J. A. A. Stockwin, Stockwin

The politics of Japan are less widely reported than its economics. Most people are aware of the economic 'miracle' following the Second World War, whereby Japan became the second largest economy in the world after the United States, and the economic stagnation of the early 1990s is also well known. But it is difficult to make sense of these phenomena without a knowledge of the political system and the ways in which it works in practice. Containing an introductory essay, an essay on theories of Japanese politics and over 250 A-Z entries, the Dictionary of the Modern Politics of Japan remedies this imbalance, and answers the need for an accessible work of reference bringing together information and authoritative analysis on all aspects of the politics of Japan and the Japanese political system. Including a fully annotated bibliography to guide the user to further reading, the entries are thoroughly cross-referenced and indexed, and are supplemented with maps and tables, to ensure that the Dictionary of the Modern Politics of Japan is essential reading for all scholars and students of the politics and international relations of Japan. "Clear, alphabetically arranged entries.... Highly recommended for academic and larger public libraries, especially where there is a keen interest in Japan or world politics. "Encyclopedia of Contemporary Japanese Culture (Routledge, 2002) is highly recommended for a comprehensive view of Japan covering the same time period."
-"Booklist/RBB, November 11, 2003
"Accessible to undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty alike.... No other English-language resource approaches this one and, given the quality of scholarship and coverage, there is no need for another. Essential. All collections supporting research in Japan, political science, and modern economic studies."
