This collection presents well over 100 scholarly articles on modern Japanese society, mitten by leading scholars in the field. These selections have been drawn from the most distinguished scholarly journals as well as from journals that are less well known among specialists, and the articles represent the best and most important scholarship on their particular topic.The field of modern Japan studies has grown steadily as Westerners have recognized the importance of Japan as a leading world economic force and an emerging regional power. The post-1945 economic success of the Japanese has, however, been achieved in the context of that nation's history, social structure, educational enterprise and political environment.
