Download or read book Japan s Security Renaissance written by Andrew L. Oros and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades after World War II, Japan chose to focus on soft power and economic diplomacy alongside a close alliance with the United States, eschewing a potential leadership role in regional and global security. Since the end of the Cold War, and especially since the rise of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan's military capabilities have resurged. In this analysis of Japan's changing military policy, Andrew L. Oros shows how a gradual awakening to new security challenges has culminated in the multifaceted "security renaissance" of the past decade. Despite openness to new approaches, however, three historical legacies—contested memories of the Pacific War and Imperial Japan, postwar anti-militarist convictions, and an unequal relationship with the United States—play an outsized role. In Japan's Security Renaissance Oros argues that Japan's future security policies will continue to be shaped by these legacies, which Japanese leaders have struggled to address. He argues that claims of rising nationalism in Japan are overstated, but there has been a discernable shift favoring the conservative Abe and his Liberal Democratic Party. Bringing together Japanese domestic politics with the broader geopolitical landscape of East Asia and the world, Japan's Security Renaissance provides guidance on this century's emerging international dynamics.

Download or read book Saving Face in Business written by Rebecca S. Merkin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the subtle maneuvers of what researchers call “facework” and demonstrates the vital role it plays in the success or failure of cross-cultural interactions. Building on Geert Hofstede’s seminal research on cultural dimensions, Merkin synthesizes more recent research in business, communication, cross-cultural psychology and sociology to offer a model for better understanding facework. Additionally, Merkin’s model shows how particular communication strategies can facilitate more successful cross-cultural interactions. The first book of its kind to focus on the practical aspects of employing face-saving, it is a needed text for academics, students, and business professionals negotiating with organizations from different cultures.
Download or read book Japan s Renaissance written by Kenneth A. Grossberg and published by Cornell East Asia Series. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, Japan's Renaissance is a detailed and exhaustively researched account of the regime of Japan's second shogunate, and also an agile comparative analysis of the political economy of the period with other Renaissance systems. The book argues that the development of shogunal power in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Japan was similar to the evolution of monarchic power in France and England during the same period. Contrary to the received wisdom that the government of the Ashikaga shoguns was the low point of premodern Japan, this book demonstrates that it was the incubator for many developments and the administrative technology which reached their maturity in the Tokugawa period. Applying the ideas of political economy to medieval Japanese history makes this book an essential companion for all Japan and East Asia specialists, students of comparative feudalism and monarchical development, as well as educated generalists who are interested in premodern Japan. The book is illustrated with antique maps and Japanese paintings of the period which add to the reader's understanding of this dramatic age in Japan's history.

Download or read book Japan s Economy written by Ellen Hofmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Hof, language: English, abstract: Over the past centuries, Japan's economy has witnessed not only one but several severe economic crises. The latest however -and probably the most ferocious one- was the one that occurred in the 1990s and lasted around ten successive years. This essay will shed some light on the background, the progression as well as the implications of Japan's lost decade. Thus, the essay will first provide a brief overview of the Japan's post-WW II economy before it dwells on the most severe crisis in the 1990s, followed by the watershed in 2003. Last but not least, the essay will draw on today's Japanese economic situation. It will thereby become apparent that Japanese economic history has led to the more than justified question as to whether Japan is a "Phoenix or Quagmire" in respect of its economy. Thus, the conclusion will round off this essay by attempting to answer this question and hence, the title of this paper.
