It details the movement's rise during Japan's post-bubble economic transformation and highlights the different and innovative forms of dissent that mark the end of the country's famously non-confrontational industrial relations. In doing so, moreover, she shows how this new pattern of industrial and social tension is reflected within the country's macroeconomic policymaking, resulting in a new policy dissensus that has consistently failed to offer policy reforms that would produce a return to economic growth. As a result, Shibata argues that the Japanese model of capitalism has therefore become increasingly disorganized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saori Shibata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501749935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501749933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ILR Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Saori Shibata","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941039636735,"sku":"9781501749933","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eafe2c58-98a9-4c65-b2c4-7034a9d935b9.jpg?v=1681450560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contesting-precarity-in-japan-saori-shibata-9781501749933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
