Japan in the Bluegrass

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Fifteen years after Toyota announced it would build a manufacturing plant in the heart of the Bluegrass, Kentucky crafts are used to help sell Camrys at car dealerships in Japan and sushi has become a favorite of the Lexington restaurant scene. In early 2000, the state boasted more than 100 companies fueled by a total Japanese investment of over $7 billion, employing more than 33,000 Kentuckians. Japan in the Bluegrass is the first study to focus on the regional, local impact of the globalization of Japanese businesses, particularly Toyota, in the United States. The contributors include geographers, political scientists, sociologists, economists, urban planners, and environmental scientists. The essays go beyond the traditional exploration of politics and economics to examine the social, cultural, and environmental effects of Japanese investment in Kentucky. [detailed...]

Japan, a Model And a Partner: Views And Issues in African Development (International Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology)

2006 y.
Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers
Description: In the closing years of the 19th century, the Japanese decided they should modernize economically without culturally westernizing, and they succeeded. Following de-colonization, Africans also pursued the goal of achieving economic modernization without cultural westernization. To some extent, however, Africa became westernized culturally, but failed to attain economic modernization. How can we explain Africa`s failure and Japan`s success? The book addresses these issues from a variety of perspectives also in relation to economic interactions between Africa and Japan and Africa`s place in Japan`s diplomacy and academic discourse.

Arata Isozaki, Toshiko Mori
Japan-ness in Architecture

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Japanese architect Arata Isozaki sees buildings not as dead objects but as events that encompass the social and historical context -- not to be defined forever by their `everlasting materiality` but as texts to be interpreted and reread continually. In Japan-ness in Architecture , he identifies what is essentially Japanese in architecture from the seventh to the twentieth century. In the opening essay, Isozaki analyzes the struggles of modern Japanese architects, including himself, to create something uniquely Japanese out of modernity. He then circles back in history to find what he calls Japan-ness in the seventh-century Ise shrine, reconstruction of the twelfth-century Todai-ji Temple, and the seventeenth-century Katsura Imperial Villa. He finds the periodic ritual relocation of Ise`s precincts a counter to the West`s concept of architectural permanence, and the repetition of the ritual an alternative to modernity`s anxious quest for origins. He traces the `constructive… [detailed...]

Japan: A Self-Portrait : Photographs 1945 - 1964

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Japanese photographers in this volume are the undiscovered Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, or Doiseneau. From the 1945 bombing of Japan to the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, photography blossomed in the rapidly evolving country. Documentary photography that captured the horrors of war shifted to focus on the human strength for survival and solidarity. By the mid-1950s, Japan was at a crossroads between tradition and modernization, a contradiction immortalized by the most talented photographers of the time. Chosen for aesthetic merit and content, these 150 photographs are accompanied by essays from renowned Japanese experts, covering historical, social, and photographic perspectives. Three chapters reflect the different periods of this societal transformation and the evolution of Japanese photography from social realism to a subjective and increasingly personal style. Photographers: Ken Domon, Hiroshi Hamaya, Tadahiko Hayashi, Eikoh Hosoe, Yasuhiro Ishimoto,… [detailed...]

Japan`s Big Bang: The Deregulation and Revitalizatiion of the Japanese Economy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Having spent nearly a decade in recession, the restructured Japanese economy is slowly beginning to grow again, and its systemic reforms are being put to the test. Now journalist and commentator Declan Hayes examines the fall and rise of Japan`s economicinfrastructure, starting with the giddy and elusive bubble economy that ultimately sapped the country and other Asian neighbors dry. Hayes explores the Western influence on Japan`s economic crash, as well as its own faulty use of loans and credit lines secured with vastly over-valued real estate, and other contributors to its financial failures. From there he looks at today`s Japan, restructuring its economy in accord with American and World Bank dicta, and dealing with the profound social changes necessary to recapture its economic momentum and ensure its continuing dominance as an economic superpower.

Japan`s Development Aid to China (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Paradoxically, Japan provides massive amounts of development aid to China, despite Japan`s clear perception of China as an important competitor in the Asia-Pacific region. This book provides an overview of the way Japan`s aid to China has developed since 1979, explains the shifts that have taken place in Japan`s China policy in the 1990s against the background of international changes and domestic changes in both countries, and offers new insights into the way Japanese aid policy-making functions, thereby providing an alternative view of Japanese policy making that might be applied to other areas. It argues that, contrary to the widely held view that Japan`s aid to China is given for reasons of commercial self-interest, the objectives are much more complex and dynamic. It shows especially how policymaking power within the Japanese government has shifted in recent years away from officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to politicians in the Liberal Democratic Party.
