This book examines five features of Japan's 'Lost Decades': the
speed of the economic decline in Japan compared to Japan's earlier
global prowess; a rapidly declining population; considerable
political instability and failed reform attempts; shifting balances
of power in the region and changing relations with Asian
neighbouring nations; and the lingering legacy of World War Two.
Addressing the question of why the decades were lost, this book
offers 15 new perspectives ranging from economics to ideology and
beyond. Investigating problems such as the risk-averse behaviour of
Japan's bureaucracy and the absence of strong political leadership,
the authors analyse how the delay of 'loss-cutting policies' led to
the 1997 financial crisis and a state of political gridlock where
policymakers could not decide on firm strategies that would benefit
national interests. To discuss the rebuilding of Japan, the authors
argue that it is first essential to critically examine Japan's
'Lost Decades' and this book offers a comprehensive overview of
Japan's recent 20 years of crisis. The book reveals that the 'Lost
Decades' is not an issue unique to the Japanese context but has
global relevance, and its study can provide important insights into
challenges being faced in other mature economies. With chapters
written by some of the world's leading Japan specialists and
chapters focusing on a variety of disciplines, this book will be of
interest to students and scholars in the areas of Japan studies,
Politics, International Relations, Security Studies, Government
Policy and History.
