Preface. It is a commonplace, even a little musty, to say that \u003cb\u003eJapan\u003c/b\u003e is a country of \u003cbr\u003e\nconsensus and unanimity, not one of differences and debate. ... Probably power \u003cbr\u003e\nis the key concept in understanding \u003cb\u003ethe emergence\u003c/b\u003e of \u003cb\u003eJapan\u003c/b\u003e as a \u003cb\u003emodern\u003c/b\u003e state.

Professor Tsuzuki traces Japan's pursuit of power, first by military and then by economic means, from her attempts to replace China at the centre of the Confucian Middle Kingdom; through the Meiji nationalist response to the inroads of nineteenth century western imperialism; and on to the post-war USJapanese alliance powering the economic miracle of the last half of the twentieth century. He examines Japan's political, intellectual, and industrial development throughout the last two centuries, with special attention to the wars that were fought, and argues that the history of Japan's modernization was closely linked to the growth of Japan's own imperialism. Tsuzuki goes on to reveal how some of the factors which contributed to remaking Japan as an economic giant have also been responsible for her recent economic and political difficulties. -
