Japan is the world's No. 2 economy, greater in GDP than Britain and
France together and almost double that of China. It is also the
most durable, generous, and unquestioning ally of the US, attaching
priority to its Washington ties over all else. In Client State,
Gavan McCormack examines the current transformation of Japan,
designed to meet the demands from Washington that Japan become the
"Great Britain of the Far East." Exploring postwar Japan's
relationship with America, he contends that US pressure has been
steadily applied to bring Japan in line with neoliberal principles.
The Bush administration's insistence on Japan's thorough
subordination has reached new levels, and is an agenda heavily in
the American, rather than the Japanese, national interest. It
includes comprehensive institutional reform, a thorough revamp of
the security and defense relationship with the US,
and-alarmingly-vigorous pursuit of Japan's acquisition of nuclear
weapons.
