In The Logic of Conformity, Tomoko T. Okagaki examines Japan's
entry into the European state system in the late nineteenth
century. Okagaki focuses on the extraordinary degree of conformity
that Japan demonstrated in accommodating itself to Western norms of
international relations within a very short period of time. By
introducing a political science perspective to the study of Japan's
modernization, which has heretofore been studied mostly as a
historical subject, she emphasizes the significance of contextual
factors that constrained the ways in which Japan entered
international society. As Okagaki shows, while the international
system defined the mode of Japan's socialization in many ways,
Japan's entry also symbolized a transformation of the international
system from that of Euro-dominance to legal equality. A
sophisticated and significant contribution to the literature on
state building and the history of international relations, The
Logic of Conformity is a fascinating study of how the concept of
sovereignty is reshaped by the entrance of newcomers.
