Product Description

Review

"The first three editions (1975, 1982 and 1999) have been essential reading for the last two generations of Japan scholars. The latest, published in 2008, is no exception. This is a masterful display of concise and informative writing and a joy to read." (Japanese Studies, December 2009)

"This clearly written and well–organized volume will continue to be of great service to students of Japanese politics." (Pacific Affairs, Autumn 2009)

"Devoid of jargon, this book is written clearly and crisply, and peppered with wit and wisdom. ... Refreshing and pleasing to hear the voice of an eminent British scholar on Japanese politics in a field dominated by American and Japanese academics." (Japanese Journal of Political Science, 2009)

"Arthur Stockwin ... is the leading British expert on Japanese politics. His analysis is succinct and he has managed to unravel most of the complexities of Japanese politics. There is much food for thought in this stimulating and informative book." (Japan Times)

Review

"This is by far the most comprehensive, up–to–date and well–balanced introduction to contemporary Japanese government and politics that I know of. The book will be a boon especially to instructors and students in introductory university courses in Japanese and comparative politics." Haru Fukui, University of California, Santa Barbara

"This is an outstanding text on Japanese politics—informative, interesting, extremely well–written in a highly accessible style. The author displays, as ever, a complete mastery of his subject. This is essential reading for any student wishing to understand the changes and continuities in Japanese politics in recent years." Caroline Rose, University of Leeds
