Tanaka Kōtarō and World Law

Kevin M. Doak is the Nippon Foundation Endowed Chair & Professor of Japanese Studies at Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA.

“This monograph on Tanaka Kōtarō is very inspiring and intriguing. … Japanese scholars have discussed the ideas and achievements of Tanaka Kōtarō in the context of jurisprudence and educational studies, however, few of them paid attention to this topic. As a result, Kevin Doak presents a fuller picture of Tanaka in his monograph.” (Kei Uno, Contemporary Japan, June 1, 2020)“Doak’s new book on Tanaka is a must-read, as it opens up entirely new vistas of thought onto globalism’s possibilities. ... Doak’s book is truly a masterpiece of concision, readability, and research.” (Jason Morgan, The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, July 21, 2019)
