For some time Japan has been under fire for adjusting too slowly to
new realities. While this criticism may be valid on some levels,
Japan has been transforming in tandem with both regional and global
forces. However, these changes have been largely overshadowed by
the immense changes in Asia; including the rise of China, the 1997
Southeast Asian financial crisis and North Korea's development of
nuclear weapons. Has Japan, the world's second largest economy,
only been muddling through? In this volume the contributors show
that although the challenges faced are great, Japan is changing in
areas ranging from political leadership, education policy, official
development assistance, peace building and security, to defence
production, business associations and innovation policy. The book
analyses processes of change, focusing on the dynamics of change -
rather than structural change or institutional change per se - from
four levels: the individual, domestic, regional and global. Forces
from outside Japan, such as a changing world order and changes in
power relationships in Asia, have driven change along with
pressures emerging within Japan, such as the increasing power of
public opinion and competitiveness within markets. This book will
be of interest to scholars and students of Japanese and Asian
Studies, Politics, International Relations, Globalization, Business
and Economics.
