The significance of this book will be widely recognized, particularly by those researching contemporary world politics, international relations and the history of modern Japan. McCormack here revisits and reassesses his previous formulations of Japan as construction state (doken kokka), client state (zokkoku), constitutional pacifist state, and colonial state (especially in its relationship to Okinawa). He adds a further chapter on what he calls the 'rampant state', that outlines the increasingly authoritarian or ikkyo (one strong) turn of the Abe government in the fifth year of its second term. And he critically addresses the Abe agenda for constitutional revision.Renaissance Books Asia Pacific series ;v. 4.Japan-Foreign relations-20th centuryJapan-Foreign relations-21st centuryJapan-Foreign relations-United StatesJapan-Politics and government-1989-United States-Foreign relations-JapanPOLITICAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshJapanPolitics and government1989-JapanForeign relations20th centuryJapanForeign relations21st centuryJapanForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsJapanchina.corruption.diplomacy.north korea.okinawa.russia.vassalage to usa.Japan-Foreign relations-20th century.Japan-Foreign relations-21st century.Japan-Foreign relations-United States.Japan-Politics and government-1989-.United States-Foreign relations-Japan.POLITICAL SCIENCE / General.320.9520905McCormack Gavan124465UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910812636203321The state of the Japanese state4126277UNINA
