Two powers in East Asia today stand to define the region's economic
and commercial future: Japan, which rose in a spectacular
industrial burst to become at present the world's second largest
economy; and China, which is rapidly advancing towards a market
economy under the watchful eye of the world.
While much has been made of Japan and China's particular economic
institutions and developmental paths, few works analyze them in a
comparative framework. Including contributions from leading
academics, the text focuses on the period from the 1980s to the
onset of the 2000s, reviewing the experiences of Japan and China
across the areas of development, trade, investment, finance and
technology. Drawing on a combination of official documents,
economic statistics, case studies and original fieldwork, this book
will give political scientists, political economists, business
concerns, and policy analysts a firmer grasp of the role Japan and
China stand to play in the world political economy.

In Defense of Japan provides the first complete, up-to-date,
English-language account of the history, politics, and policy of
Japan's strategic space development. The dual-use nature of space
technologies, meaning that they cut across both market and military
applications, has had two important consequences for Japan. First,
Japan has developed space technologies for the market in its
civilian space program that have yet to be commercially
competitive. Second, faced with rising geopolitical uncertainties
and in the interest of their own economics, the makers of such
technologies have been critical players in the shift from the
market to the military in Japan's space capabilities and policy.
This book shows how the sum total of market-to-military moves
across space launch vehicles, satellites and spacecraft, and
emerging related technologies, already mark Japan as an advanced
military space power.
The study of Japanese politics is a vibrant field that has changed
substantially over time. This work provides an in-depth exploration
of current research. Moreover, it addresses theoretical questions
and empirical issues that will guide research on Japan for years to
come and thus serves as a key resource for scholars, students, and
practitioners. Through more than 40 chapters by leading
specialists, the Oxford Handbook of Japanese Politics examines
major aspects of both domestic politics and international
relations. In addition to providing a broad overview of
contemporary Japanese politics, the chapters are united by a shared
question: what is the nature and quality of Japanese democracy?
Contributors consider this matter alongside their individual
subjects, which together comprehensively address the central
research topics of the field.
In the past quarter century, the importance of Asia in
international relations has grown exponentially. This Handbook
gathers the most important scholars in the field of international
relations to address this epochal sea change in world politics. The
editors and contributors focus on three basic themes: developing
appropriate theories for explaining Asia's evolving position in
international relations both within Asia and with the rest of the
world; tracing the recent history of Asia in world politics; and
focusing on emerging trends. The Handbook brings readers up to date
on the bilateral, regional, and global relations of Asian countries
in the fields of political economy, national security, and human
security.
Comprehensive in theme, breadth, and methodology, this Handbook is
a timely addition to the existing literature on the changes
currently underway in Asian countries that promise to have
significant implications for world politics.
