Sinopsis

Spanning the 130-year period between the end of the Tokugawa Era and the end of the Cold War, this book introduces students to the formation, collapse, and rebirtháof the modern Japanese state. It demonstrates how, faced with foreign threats, Japan developed a new governing structure to deal with these challenges and in turn gradually shaped its international environment. Had Japan been a self-sufficient power, like the United States, it is unlikely that external relations would have exercised such great control over the nation. And, if it were a smaller country, it may have been completely pressured from the outside and could not have influenced the global stage on its own. For better or worse therefore, this book argues, Japan was neither too large nor too small. Covering the major events, actors, and institutions of JapanâÇÖs modern history, the key themes discussed include:Building the Meiji state and Constitution.The establishment of Parliament.The First Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars.Party Politics and International Cooperation.The Pacific War.Development of LDP politics.Changes in the international order and the end of the Cold War.This book, written by one of JapanâÇÖs leading experts on JapanâÇÖs political history, will be an essential resource for students of Japanese modern history and politics.
