Leftist thought and activism stands as a defining force in the
articulation of political culture and policy in modern Japan.
Operating from the periphery of formal political power for the most
part, the Japanese Left has had an impact that extends far beyond
their limited success at the ballot box. This book focuses
attention on the influence exerted by the Left on the political
landscape of Japan in the modern era, and assesses the reasons for
its successes and failures in terms of its impact on enduring
dimensions of Japanese political thought, activism and policy. This
is the first book of its kind to engage in the deeper issues of
pacifist idealism, the dynamics of opposition politics in Japan,
and distinguishing features of Japanese Leftist policy such as
opposition to liberalisation of agricultural trade and positive
relations with North Korea. With essays from an international team
of contributors, this text will provide a fresh and much-needed
interpretation of the modern sweep of Japanese politics.
