Historical Dictionary of the Barack Obama Administration
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States. In a country with a rich history of racial animosities, Obama represents a notable deviation in the trajectory of America’s presidential history. At the close of his second term in office, a survey of the personalities and events associated with his presidency is fitting. In this walk through recent history we will be keen to point out the president’s successes, failures, an…
Historical Dictionary of the People's Republic of China
When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) assumed power in October 1949 China was one of the poorest nations in the world and so weak it had been conquered in the late 1930s and early 1940s by its neighbor Japan, a country one-10th its size. More than five decades later, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an emerging economic, political, and major military power with the world’s fastest growing economy and largest population (1.35 billion in 20…

The (Coming) Economic Crisis
Looked at from a certain angle, Japan's economy is an extraordinary success. Just after the war, it only accounted for 1 percent of the world’s gross national product. Now it exceeds 13 percent. Its growth has been unmatched by other advanced economies for over four decades, actually achieving 10 percent and more a year during its most vigorous period. Today, Japan is the leading producer of consumer electronics, semiconductors, steel, watches, s…

Japanese Targeting
A study of how industrial policy and targeting accelerated Japanese economic development and affected the rest of the world. This book considers who targeted industries, how they were chosen and what
Japanese Targeting: Successes, Failures, Lessons
Rising Sectors — Private
It was not only the government which singled out attractive products and mobilised its resources to promote them. This was done throughout the postwar period by the private sector, often with striking success. In some of these exercises, the public role was secondary, minor or negligible. But this did not keep the businessmen from pushing ahead. The goal they had in mind, although not always stated publicly, was not so much a strong economy or in…
Politics (The Japanese Way)
Who runs Japan? The politicians, the bureaucrats or the businessmen? That is the eternal question that exercises the minds of the foreign friends of Japan. Normally, one would expect them to pick the politicians since these are the folks who run the government in most other countries. But there are rather few who take that option. One of the most credible is Gerald Curtis, who argues that Japanese politicians have increasingly influenced policy a…

The Japan Syndrome: Symptoms, Ailments, and Remedies
The author argues that Japan's economic success is threatened by poor economic policies and planning, among other reasons, and is in danger of falling behind its competitors. He offers remedies or methods that Japan could use to revive its role as an economic leader: developing new industries, creating better policies, concentrating on housing, and improving planning and growth strategies. Jon Woronoff is the author
Asia's Miracle Economies
An expanded and updated edition of Woronoff's 1986 study of Asia's emerging economic giants, this book looks back at what has happened in the intervening years, especially as regards the discovery of this phenomenon in the Western media and the overreactive hype that has accompanied it. As the author puts it: My purpose is to show how these countries, which hitherto has been quite unremarkable, began to develop vigorously. What policies and strat…
Labor Relations in Japan Today
Japan's Commercial Empire
This volume explores Russia's policy dilemmas in three realms: international security, socio-political, and socio-economic. In each of these categories, Russia faces daunting problems, none of which is likely to be resolved quickly or easily. Yet, over the longer term, the extent to which policymakers are successful in dealing with these challenges will go far in determining Russia's future place in the world, how Russians will live, and what kin…
