Until recently, many Japanese believed that they lived in the
richest country in the world, and in the early 1990s, they welcomed
the end of one-party dominance. However, by the middle of the
1990s, many Japanese are no longer confident in their economy, nor
optimistic in their politics. This authoritative study analyses
various aspects of Japanese society and economy in order to provide
a balanced view between the optimism of the 1980s and the pessimism
characteristic of more recent years. The Political Economy of
Japanese Society is a revision and translation of a
multidisciplinary research project carried out by the Institute of
Social Science at the University of Tokyo. Beginning with the late
nineteenth century, it examines the historical developments of
Japan's contemporary political economy, paying particular attention
to the changes that have occurred 'from below'. Social actors who
have often been given peripheral treatment, such as opposition
parties, the aged, female and foreign workers, are brought to the
forefront of the analysis, alongside those considered more
mainstream, such as the governing party, large corporations and
labour unions. The Japanese political economy of the 1980s and 90s
has had a strong impact on the global economy, and this book also
analyses selective influences on the outside world, in particular
on other Asian nations and the USA. Volume 1 analyses the
structures of the Japanese political economy which encouraged
continuous economic growth in the period from 1955 to 1990,
focusing on such phenomena as Japanese political management, the
Japanese employment system, and one-party dominance in politics.
Volume 2 examines some of the problems inherited from this period
of dramatic economic growth.
