Having suffered military defeat at the hands of advanced Western
powers in the 1850s, Russia and Japan embarked upon a program of
catch-up and modernization in the late-19th Century. While the two
states sought in the main to replicate the successes of the
advanced great powers of the West, the discourse on national
identity among Russian and Japanese elite in this period evinced a
considerable degree of ambivalence about Western dominance. With
the onset of the crisis of power and legitimacy in the
international order ushered in by the First World War, this
ambivalence shifted towards more open revolt against Western
dominance. The rise of communism in Russia and militarism in Japan
were significantly shaped by their search for national
distinctiveness and international status. This book is a
comparative historical study of how the two "non-Western" great
powers emerged as challengers to the prevailing international order
in the interwar period, each seeking to establish an alternative
order. Specifically, Anno examines the parallels and contrasts in
the ways in which the Russian and Japanese elites sought to define
the two countries' national identities, and how those definitions
influenced the two countries' attitudes toward the prevailing
order. At the intersection of international relations theory,
comparative politics, and of historical sociology, this book offers
an integrated perspective on the rise of challengers to the liberal
international order in the early-twentieth century.

This ground-breaking book provides the first English-language
survey of economic thought in modern Japan. Significantly, it
offers both a detailed study of economic thought from 1600 to 1945
and a nuanced analysis of Western and Asian perspectives on the
field of Japanese economic history. Expertly translated from
Japanese and written by leading scholars in the field, this
exciting study includes: * A novel approach to economic thought
which contextualizes the core values of thinkers across the period
* A comparative analysis of Japanese economic history which looks
at the continuities across the Meiji divide * The extensive use of
archival sources, many of which were previously unavailable in
English A History of Economic Thought in Japan, 1600 - 1945 serves
as a case study of how Western economic ideas spread to non-Western
regions and interacted with indigenous ideas. It will therefore be
of immense value to both scholars of economic thought and those
seeking a deeper understanding of the moral, intellectual, and
societal forces that shaped modern Japan.
