Funded Activity Summary

The Japanese State and Civil Society in Transformation, 1970-2006. Since Japan is the world's second and the region's first economic power the importance of understanding major transformations in its political, social, and economic structure is plain. This project is therefore highly relevant to academia, policy and intelligence analysts, the media and citizenry in general. The last time the cry of 'reform' and fundamental restructuring of institutions was heard on anything like the present level was in the 1930s. Then, 'renovation' (kakushin) - offered as a path through multiple national and international crises - actually paved the way to militarism and war. Koizumi's reform (kaikaku) program, which is no less than a program for recasting the state, therefore deserves to be studied very seriously.
