This wide-ranging and innovative collection of essays addresses the
Japanese dimension of one of the major sociological issues of our
time: the nature of socio-economic modernisation and the emergence
or otherwise of 'post-modern' industrial society. The rise to
economic supremacy of post-war Japan constitutes an enormous
challenge to that western orthodoxy which posits an essentially
unilinear process of modernisation from the seventeenth century to
the present day in which national and regional diversity has been
eroded by the gradual social convergence of the major industrial
powers. How does a society of contrasting social and cultural
traditions fit within this pattern? Can one sensibly speak of
Japanese society as 'modern' when such usage is effectively defined
by other, western, presuppositions? In this volume an international
team of contributors assesses these questions and investigates the
real impact of modernisation upon the Japanese themselves.
