Japan TodayCambridge University Press, 1998 - 233 páginas The new edition of Japan Today has been rewritten to take account of Japan's changing fortunes in the l990s. It describes the recent setbacks in the country's economic and financial sectors and examines the major shifts in the political sphere. Despite the current challenges to Japan's propserity, this is a remarkable story of post-war resurgence, material progress and social stability. 'So far there has been no reliable introduction to contemporary Japan that one could unhesitatingly recommend and confidently expect students to read. This books fills that gap.' Political Studies |
