  • Circles of Compensation: Economic Growth and the Globalization of Japan

    Kent E CalderBOOKCircles of Compensation2020

    Japan grew explosively and consistently for more than a century, from the Meiji Restoration until the collapse of the economic bubble in the early 1990s. Since then, it has been unable to restart its economic engine and respond to globalization. How could the same political–economic system produce such strongly contrasting outcomes? This book identifies the crucial variables as classic Japanese forms of socio-political organization: the "circles …

  • Japan in 2017

    Kent E CalderARTICLEAsian Survey2018

    Japanese domestic politics grew more volatile and complex in 2017, as LDP electoral reversals were followed by opposition fragmentation and then conservative consolidation. Foreign policy was dominated by the security challenge of North Korea, but also involved deepened relations with the US and Europe, as well as unanticipated improvement with China and South Korea. Macroeconomic trends were positive, but structural reform proceeded only slowly.…

  • Beneath the Eagle's Wings? The Political Economy of Northeast Asian Burden-Sharing in Comparative Perspective

    Kent E CalderARTICLEAsian Security2006Cited by: 1

    This paper examines Japanese and South Korean host-nation support (HNS) policies toward American forces deployed in those two countries from a comparative perspective. It finds that both countries provide substantial support for US forces, contrary to the expectations of collective action theory and the assumptions of many international relations theorists about free-riding. Northeast Asian HNS support tends to be both quantitatively substantial …

    Open AccessKent E Calder, Min YeARTICLEJournal of East Asian Studies2004Cited by: 9References: 10

    Northeast Asia, where the interests of three major nuclear powers and the world's two largest economies mingle around the unstable pivot of the Korean Peninsula, is a region rife with political and economic uncertainties. It is arguably one of the most dangerous areas in the world, plagued by security problems of global importance, including nuclear and missile proliferation. It has, to be sure, been widely touted as a region of economic promise.…

  • Securing security through prosperity: The San Francisco System in comparative perspective

    Kent E Calder, Kent CalderARTICLEThe Pacific Review2004Cited by: 23References: 12

    The integrated system of political–economic relations that has prevailed in the Pacific since the September 1951 treaty of peace with Japan, known here as the San Francisco System, is distinctive in comparison with subregional systems elsewhere in the world. This paper outlines key defining features, such as (1) a dense network of bilateral alliances; (2) an absence of multilateral security structures; (3) strong asymmetry in alliance relations, …

  • The New Face of Northeast Asia

    Kent E CalderARTICLEForeign Affairs2001Cited by: 4

    Northeast Asia, specialists have long argued, is among the most dangerous places on earth. Only there are the world's three principal nuclear powers (the United States, Russia, and China) and the two largest economic powers (the United States and Japan) still politically and geographically engaged?their interests entwined in a volatile arc surrounding Japan. It was in that region that three years of bitter Korean conflict half a century ago shape…

  • The Postwar Development of Japanese Studies in the United States

    Hardacre Hardacre, Harold Bolitho et al.BOOKThe Postwar Development of…1998

    The present volume documents the postwar history of United States scholarship on Japan.

Among these factors are social and political change in Japan and the United States, s…

  • Asia's Empty Tank

    Kent E CalderARTICLEForeign Affairs1996Cited by: 4

    Asia`s emerging energy problems cut subtly across the conventional boundary between economics and security. They have been further masked by the temporary collapse of demand in many markets, such as eastern Europe, since 1990. But they are no less perilous for their obscurity. China has become and oil importer. Japan is a leading one, and South Korea is yet worse off. All are anxious about where the energy to fuel their powerhouse economies will …
