As the book shows, these attempts at revision have been relatively conservative, aiming to embed in the constitution visions of a different future for Japan. Specific reforms advocated include: enabling Japan to have a more proactive foreign policy, more independent of the US-Japan alliance; strengthening the role of the Emperor, and excluding female succession to the throne; and emphasising more citizens' duties, rather than their rights, in order to strengthen community and societal cohesion. 410 0$aRoutledge Contemporary Japan Series 606 $aConstitutional history$zJapan 606 $aConstitutional law$zJapan 606 $aLaw reform$zJapan 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aLaw reform 676 $a342.5202/9 700 $aWinkler$b Christian G.$0714296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817302203321 996 $aThe quest for Japan's new constitution$93937807 997 $aUNINA
