Produktbeschreibung
The Japanese political economy of the 1980s and 90s has had a strong impact on the global economy, and this book also analyses selective influences on the outside world, in particular on other Asian nations and the USA. Volume 1 analyses the structures of the Japanese political economy which encouraged continuous economic growth in the period from 1955 to 1990, focusing on such phenomena as Japanese political management, the Japanese employment system, and one-party dominance in politics. Volume 2 examines some of the problems inherited from this period of dramatic economic growth.
This two-volume book, a revision and translation of a multi-disciplinary research project carried out by the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo, analyzes the Japanese political economy from an historical perspective in order to provide a balanced view between the optimism of the 1980s and the pessimism of the 1990s. Paying particular attention to the changes in Japan's contemporary political economy that have come "from below," the authors consider marginalized social actors such as opposition parties, the aged, and female and foreign workers alongside more mainstream players such as the governing party, large corporations, and labor unions. Finally, the book examines the strong influence of the Japanese political economy on the global economy.
