In recent years popular writings, media commentaries and analysts often take the view that the rise of Japan is long since over and that the world's second largest economy is not just treading water but that society and the economy are failing, with potential catastrophic outcomes. But is this really the case? Could it be that once again Japan is being misread and misinterpreted? Are there not both obvious and less obvious signs of renewal and recovery? And how might the new DPJ-led government reform Japan? Based on papers given at a major international conference held at the University of Adelaide in November 2009, this thesis is examined here by a group of the world's leading specialists in their fields, addressing many of the key issues facing Japan today, from the economy and environment, to education, social policy, politics, internationalization, diplomacy, security. This volume will have wide-ranging interdisciplinary relevance for students and specialists alike. 607 $aJapan$xHistory$yHeisei period, 1989- 607 $aJapan$xEconomic conditions$y1989- 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y1989- 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1989- 676 $a330.905 676 $a952.05 701 $aJain$b Purnendra$0915484 701 $aWilliams$b Brad$f1969-$01581943 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781685203321 996 $aJapan in decline$93863850 997 $aUNINA
