Over the last 70 years, Japanese Studies scholarship has gone
through several dominant paradigms, from 'demystifying the
Japanese', to analysis of Japanese economic strength, to discussion
of global interest in Japanese popular culture. This book assesses
this literature, considering future directions for research into
the 2020s and beyond. Shifting the geographical emphasis of
Japanese Studies away from the West to the Asia-Pacific region,
this book identifies topic areas in which research focusing on
Japan will play an important role in global debates in the coming
years. This includes the evolution of area studies, coping with
aging populations, the various patterns of migration and
environmental breakdown. With chapters from an international team
of contributors, including significant representation from the
Asia-Pacific region, this book enacts Yoshio Sugimoto's notion of
'cosmopolitan methodology' to discuss Japan in an interdisciplinary
and transnational context and provides overviews of how Japanese
Studies is evolving in other Asian countries such as China and
Indonesia. New Frontiers in Japanese Studies is a thought-provoking
volume and will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Japanese and Asian Studies.
