SynopsisThis text provides a wide-ranging overview of the development of Japan within Pacific Asia and the wider global political system. P W Preston maps Japans shift into the modern world through a series of breaks in which Japanese polity was embedded within the wider dynamics of political-cultural and geo-economic change in the developing global system. He then charts Japans particular development experience through four distinct historical phases before exploring the major issues in the study of modern Japan. The book examines the prospects for an increasingly integrated regional bloc in Pacific Asia in relation to the United States and the European Union. A number of underlying themes include the intellectually contested nature of Pacific Asia, the extent to which it is possible to speak of a distinctive model of development, and the implications of Japans rise to regional and global power for future political and policy analysis., This text provides a wide-ranging overview of the development experience of Japan within Pacific Asia and the wider global political system., This text provides a wide-ranging overview of the development experience of Japan within Pacific Asia and the wider global political system.
