{"product_id":"japanese-government-and-politics-9781952636356","title":"Japanese Government and Politics","description":"This volume takes a comparative approach to Japanese politics, covering topics such as political parties and elections, civil society, bureaucracy, and foreign relations. Grounded in a discussion of democracy's historical development since the Meiji period, each chapter encourages readers to think critically and comparatively about political processes and their outcomes, situating Japan regionally and as a wealthy, democratic nation. The goal is to offer students of government insight into how democracy works--and doesn't, for that matter--and can illustrate the fact that strengthening democratic institutions is an ongoing struggle throughout much of the world, including Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren McKee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952636353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952636356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Association for Asian Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Lauren McKee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075038015743,"sku":"9781952636356","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4515b827-05b0-4daa-9a39-251d13450935.jpg?v=1685457243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japanese-government-and-politics-9781952636356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
