Beskrivning
In Visions of Democracy and Peace in Occupied Japan, Sigal Ben-Rafael Galanti examines American occupation of Japan during World War II and the evolution of Japan’s political parties to highlight the country’s struggles for a democratic and peaceful “Japanese Japan.” Using a dynamic analysis approach, Galanti examines the pre-war, pro-democratic ideals and legacies that built Japan’s political parties and the parties’ evolving views on regime matters, socioeconomic structure, international relations, and security both during and after the country’s occupation by American forces.

Recensioner i media

This book brings an original perspective to the study of the US occupation of Japan and the development of Japanese democracy. It identifies pro-democracy legacies from the pre-democratic era underlying Japan’s leading politicians’ and political parties’ embrace of democracy, albeit a ‘Japanized’ version. It analyzes their ‘visions’ of the future of Japan’s democracy—primarily by painstaking reading of the Diet debates over major issues, such as the wording of the New Constitution. Combining political history and comparative politics, the book explains why Japanese democracy has been one of the few non-Western survivors among Huntington’s ‘Second Wave of Democratization.’
