Scholarship in recent decades has corrected this oversight, and a growing number of historians agree that the events west of the Mississippi River proved integral to the outcome of the war. Nevertheless, generals in the Trans-Mississippi have received little attention compared to their eastern counterparts, and many remain mere footnotes to Civil War history. This welcome volume features cutting-edge analyses of eight Southern generals in this most neglectWestern theater in the Civil War.GeneralsConfederate States of AmericaHistoryGeneralsConfederate States of AmericaBiographyCommand of troopsHistory19th centuryMilitary art and scienceConfederate States of AmericaHistoryMississippi River ValleyHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865CampaignsUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865CampaignsElectronic books.GeneralsHistory.GeneralsCommand of troopsHistoryMilitary art and scienceHistory.973.7092/2Hewitt Lawrence L938435Bergeron Arthur W938436Schott Thomas Edwin1943-1029881MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463587103321Confederate generals in the Trans-Mississippi2446526UNINA04143nam 2200685 a 450 991045713930332120200520144314.00-8014-6180-410.7591/9780801461804(CKB)2550000000039095(OCoLC)742517425(CaPaEBR)ebrary10481025(SSID)ssj0000540579(PQKBManifestationID)11339877(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000540579(PQKBWorkID)10598691(PQKB)11063922(MiAaPQ)EBC3138228(OCoLC)966846008(MdBmJHUP)muse51791(DE-B1597)478261(OCoLC)979579547(DE-B1597)9780801461804(Au-PeEL)EBL3138228(CaPaEBR)ebr10481025(EXLCZ)99255000000003909520050826d2006 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrRace for the exits[electronic resource] the unraveling of Japan's system of social protection /Leonard J.

[213]-242) and index.Exit, voice, and Japan's economic problems -- Taking exit and voice seriously -- Productive and protective elements of convoy capitalism -- The race for the exits begins -- The policy impact of hollowing out -- Case studies in economic reform -- The policy impact of exit by women -- Exceptions that prove the rule -- Toward a new system of social protection in Japan.Contrary to all expectations, Japan's long-term recession has provoked no sustained political movement to replace the nation's malfunctioning economic structure. The country's basic social contract has so far proved resistant to reform, even in the face of persistently adverse conditions. In Race for the Exits, Leonard J. Schoppa explains why it has endured and how long it can last. The postwar Japanese system of "convoy capitalism" traded lifetime employment for male workers against government support for industry and the private (female) provision of care for children and the elderly. Two social groups bore a particularly heavy burden in providing for the social protection of the weak and dependent: large firms, which committed to keeping their core workforce on the payroll even in slow times, and women, who stayed home to care for their homes and families.Using the exit-voice framework made famous by Albert Hirschman, Schoppa argues that both groups have chosen "exit" rather than "voice," depriving the political process of the energy needed to propel necessary reforms in the system. Instead of fighting for reform, firms slowly shift jobs overseas, and many women abandon hopes of accommodating both family and career. Over time, however, these trends have placed growing economic and demographic pressures on the social contract. As industries reduce their domestic operations, the Japanese economy is further diminished. Japan has also experienced a "baby bust" as women opt out of motherhood. Schoppa suggests that a radical break with the Japanese social contract of the past is becoming inevitable as the system slowly and quietly unravels.Social securityJapanEconomic securityJapanHuman servicesJapanJapanSocial conditions1945-JapanEconomic conditions1989-JapanSocial policyJapanEconomic policy1989-Electronic books.Social securityEconomic securityHuman services362.952/09/051Schoppa Leonard J(Leonard James),1962-1032498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457139303321Race for the exits2450401UNINA
