| Abstract | "Introducing you to all aspects of Japanese society, culture, politics, economy, geography and history, this book guides you through the country's enduring features, recent trends and the most interesting areas of analysis, including: changing gender roles and the changing nature of family life; the impact of immigration and declining population; the dominance of the LDP and the legacy of Shinzo Abe; the politics of education; the role of the media and the online sphere; new social movements; environmentalism; trends in Japan's external relations and the LDP's increased defence spending. With case studies, the latest data and lively debate, Contemporary Japan is essential reading if you are studying any aspect of Japanese sociology, politics, history, culture or language, or if you are simply interested in learning more about the country"-- Provided by publisher. |
