History, Politics, and Social Change since the 1980s

The second edition of this comprehensive study of recent Japanese
history now includes the author's expert assessment of the effects
of the earthquake and tsunami, including the political and
environmental consequences of the Fukushima reactor meltdown.

  • Fully updated to include a detailed assessment of the aftermath
    of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami

  • Shows how the nuclear crisis at Fukushima was an accident
    waiting to happen

  • Includes detailed discussion of Japan's energy policy, now in
    flux after the mishandling of the Fukushima crisis

  • Analyzes Japan's 'Lost Decades', why jobs and families are less
    stable, environmental policies, immigration, the aging society, the
    US alliance, the imperial family, and the 'yakuza' criminal
    gangs

  • Authoritative coverage of Japanese history over the last two
    decades, one of the country's most tumultuous periods
