About this title

Synopsis

In this new edition, Roger Buckley expands his introductory survey of contemporary Japan to the summer of 1989. He examines the development of Japan's post-war political system and its immense economic advances against a backcloth of social and cultural stability.

Review

'Japan Today is one of the best books of its kind, offering a jargon-free look at what makes Japan tick. Books like this do a great deal to dispel misunderstandings about Japan.' The Japan Times

'So far there has been no reliable introduction to contemporary Japan that one could unhestitatingly recommend and confidently expect students to read. This book fills that gap.' Political Studies
