A country once heralded for evolving a superior form of capitalism and seemingly ready to surpass the United States as the world's largest economy lost its way in the early 1990s. The bursting of the bubble in 1991 ushered in a period of political and economic uncertainty that has lasted for over two decades. There were hopes that the triple catastrophe of March 11, 2011--a massive earthquake, tsunami, and accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant--would break Japan out of its torpor and spur the country to embrace change that would restart the growth and optimism of the go-go years. But today Japan is still waiting for needed transformation, and Brad Glosserman concludes that the fact that even disaster has not spurred radical enough reform reveals something about Japan's political system. Glosserman explains why Japan will not change, concluding that Japanese horizons are shrinking and that the Japanese public has given up the bold ambitions of previous generations and its current leadership. This is an important insight into contemporary Japan and one that should shape our thinking about this vital country. 651 0 $a Japan $x Politics and government $y 1989- 651 0 $a Japan $x Economic conditions $y 1989- 651 0 $a Japan $x Economic policy $y 1989- 651 0 $a Japan $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 650 0 $a National security $z Japan. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a National security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033711 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Glosserman, Brad. $t Peak Japan. $d Washington, DC : Georgetown University Press, 2019 $z 9781626166707 $w (DLC) 2018032310 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502023946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=786991D06CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
