Overview
This book examines global change from a dialectical perspective. Looking at global change in terms of unipolarization in international security, globalization in the world economy, and democratization in global governance, this volume provides a refreshingly Japanese angle on addressing complex interplays between the social forces underlying these themes.

An examination of the role of Japan within the context of political, economic, and military global realities. Supportive of the continuing growth of the global financial and trade institutions and agreements, Inoguchi (political science, U. of Tokyo) has three major concerns for the growth of liberal market regimes. The resolution of ambivalence between the United States's short-term military primacy and its concern for long-term economic and technological decline must be resolved, he argues. Similarly the contradictions between the total deregulation and globalization of economic activity and regional and other forces attempting to oppose the current tide are of concern. Finally, the social instability caused by economic liberalization is a concern. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
