Since the beginning of the Meiji period when Japan evolved into a
modern and powerful nation-state, ideas of empire and constitution
imbued Japanese rule and progress. In Empire and Constitution in
Modern Japan, Junji Banno expertly analyses how these conflicting
concepts operated together in Japan from 1868 until 1937. By
'empire', Banno means the Japanese impetus to create its own
empire; by 'constitution', he identifies Japanese efforts to create
a constitutional government. In this book, Banno discusses the
complicated relationship between these two concepts, ranging from
incompatibility in some periods to symbiosis in others.
Furthermore, understanding the complex and competing nature of
these ideals, he persuasively reasons, is key to our understanding
of why Japan and China went to war in 1937, leading to Pearl Harbor
just four years later. Translated by eminent scholar Arthur
Stockwin, Banno's highly accessible account of the dynamics of
pre-war Japanese political history provides an engaging survey of
imperialism and constitutionalism in modern Japan. It will be of
vital importance to all scholars of modern Japanese history.
