Buffeted in recent years by rapid economic, social, and political change, yet still very much steeped in custom and history, the nation has become an amalgam of the traditional and the modern. As a result, the country has become increasingly difficult to categorize: how are we to represent today's Japan effectively, and fairly predict its future? How can the opposing forces of "change" and "continuity" be reconciled in order to understand the nation as a cohesive whole? This critical, multi-disciplinary collection explores the convergence of past and future in contemporary Japan. Contributors comment on a wide range of economic, socio-cultural, and political trends -- such as the mobilization of Japanese labour, the burgeoning Ainu identity movement, and the shifting place of the modern woman -- and conclude that despite the rapid changes, many of the traditional facets of Japanese society have remained intact. Institutional change, they assert, is unlikely to occur quickly, and Japan must find alternate ways to adjust to 21st century pressures of global competition and interdependence. A pleasure to read, this broad volume will be welcomed by upper level undergraduates, graduates, and specialists in Japanese studies. 607 $aJapan$xHistory$y1945- 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y1945- 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$y1945- 607 $aJapan$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1945- 676 $a952.05 700 $aEdgington$b David, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01511457 701 $aEdgington$b David W$g(David William),$f1933-$01511458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791429403321 996 $aJapan at the millennium$93744770 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01984oas 22006853a 450 001 9910580240203321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a1553-6955 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2123588-0 035 $a(OCoLC)51538185 035 $a(CONSER) 2004213451 035 $a(CKB)954925387167 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925387167 100 $a20030129a19659999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBulletin of marine science 210 $aCoral Gables, Fla., U.S.A. $cUniversity of Miami Press$d[1965]- 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from title screen. 300 $aPublished: Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, <1986-> 311 0 $a0007-4977 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 517 1 $aBoletin de ciencias marinas 606 $aOceanography$vPeriodicals 606 $aMarine biology$vPeriodicals 606 $aMarine biology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01009447 606 $aOceanography$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01043671 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aOceanography 615 0$aMarine biology 615 7$aMarine biology. 615 7$aOceanography. 676 $a551.46 676 $a551.46/005 712 02$aRosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science 712 02$aUniversity of Miami.$bInstitute of Marine Science. 712 02$aUniversity of Miami.$bInstitute of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. 801 0$bTXU 801 1$bTXU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bLGG 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bLUU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGUA 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910580240203321 996 $aBulletin of marine science$92897372 997 $aUNINA
