The end of Japan's empire appeared to happen very suddenly and
cleanly - but, as this book shows, it was in fact very messy, with
a long period of establishing or re-establishing the postwar order.
Moreover, as the authors argue, empires have afterlives, which, in
the case of Japan's empire, is not much studied. This book
considers the details of deimperialization, including the
repatriation of Japanese personnel, the redrawing of boundaries,
issues to do with prisoners of war and war criminals and new
arrangements for democratic political institutions, for media and
for the regulation of trade. It also discusses the continuing
impact of empire on the countries ruled or occupied by Japan,
where, as a result of Japanese management and administration, both
formal and informal, patterns of behavior and attitudes were
established that continued subsequently. This was true in Japan
itself, where returning imperial personnel had to be absorbed and
adjustments made to imperial thinking, and in present-day East
Asia, where the shadow of Japan's empire still lingers. This legacy
of unresolved issues concerning the correct relationship of Japan,
an important, energetic, outgoing nation and a potential regional
"hub," with the rest of the region not comfortably settled in this
era, remains a fulcrum of regional dispute.
