Beskrivning

Throughout the history of modern Japan there has been a continuous struggle to create an integrated conception of how a politically and/or culturally autonomous Japan might relate to a pluralistic and interactive world. The aim of this study is to scrutinise nationalist and internationalist rhetoric by means of comparatively constant factors such as personal views of humanity, civilisation, progress, the nation and the outside world, and thus to develop new approaches towards the question of the relationship between Japanese nationalism and internationalism.This project brings together a group of comparatively young scholars who analyse how different generations of opinion leaders in the Japanese pre-war modern era tried to solve what they perceived as the dilemma of nationalism and internationalism.

'This is a volume which will be valuable for historians, political scientists and general observers of the Japanese scene as the climate of debate changed in the 1930s.' - The Japan Society'It would be invidious to draw special attention to any one study in this book. The standard of the research, writing and presentation is very high. It deals with an important aspect of Japan's prewar history and illustrates the doubts and uncertainties felt in intellectual circles. It illustrates a diversity which is a useful corrective to many studies of 1930s Japan.' - The Japan Society
