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. 410 0$aRenaissance Books Asia Pacific series ;$vv. 4. 606 $aJapan-Foreign relations-20th century 606 $aJapan-Foreign relations-21st century 606 $aJapan-Foreign relations-United States 606 $aJapan-Politics and government-1989- 606 $aUnited States-Foreign relations-Japan 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zJapan 610 $achina. 610 $acorruption. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $anorth korea. 610 $aokinawa. 610 $arussia. 610 $avassalage to usa. 615 0$aJapan-Foreign relations-20th century. 615 0$aJapan-Foreign relations-21st century. 615 0$aJapan-Foreign relations-United States. 615 0$aJapan-Politics and government-1989-. 615 0$aUnited States-Foreign relations-Japan. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a320.9520905 700 $aMcCormack$b Gavan$0124465 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812636203321 996 $aThe state of the Japanese state$94126277 997 $aUNINA
