Japan: Beyond the End of History by David Williams
In this analysis of Japan's policy-making, David Williams places his argument within the debates about Japanese political economy in the United States and Britain, debates previously polarised between `market' and `ministry' views. He presents Japanese-style nationalist development as a serious challenge to Western values and theory.`..a lively, provocative, erudite and well-written book. As befits a practising journalist, Williams demonstrates both an attractive turn of phrase and the nimble use of data and argument.' - Political Studies
`The specialist will... find many thought provoking comments in this book which is clearly based on an in depth study of Japanses political institutions and attitudes.' - - Sir Hugh Cortazzi, Proceedings of the Japan Society
David Williams has taught Japanese government and political philosophy at Oxford University and is now an editorial writer for The Japan Times. He regularly comments on Japanese affairs for the Los Angeles Times.
