9780333590256 - Japan since 1945: The Rise of an Economic Superpower (Studies in Contemporary History) von Smith, Dennis (10 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Few historians have attempted an account of Japan since 1945 yet the country's emergence as the second largest economy in the world has been one of the most dramatic and significant developments since the Second World War. Dennis Smith's work takes a deliberately historical approach in the belief that it is impossible to assess the nature of post-war Japan's achievement without first considering the significance of the pre-war and wartime legacy. It blends politics and economics, aware that in Japan the close links between the worlds of politics, government and of business deny rigid divisions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Summary:Japan's rise to political and economic prominence has been one of the most dramatic developments in the postwar world. Japan has the world's second largest economy and is undoubtedly an economic superpower. It is situated in the most dynamic economic region in the world, and Japan's economic power is bestowing increasing political significance on the country. This book provides a vital key to understanding this momentous transformation by giving a clear historical account of the process of Japanese economic, political and social change since the Second World War. It sets postwar Japan in its historical context, highlighting the essential continuities with the prewar world as well as detailing the changes which have occurred in Japan since 1945. The author explores such issues as Japan's prewar legacy, the importance of the American occupation to Japan's subsequent development, the creation of the postwar political structure, the sources of Japan's economic growth and the changing nature of Japanese politics and the economy in the 1970s and 1980s. The impact which this economic and political transformation has had on the Japanese people is also explored. The book ends with an account of Japan's serious economic recession in the early 1990s and the end of the Liberal Democrat Party's monopoly of government in 1993-4.
