Paying particular attention to the changes in Japan's contemporary political economy that have come \"from below,\" the authors consider marginalized social actors such as opposition parties, the aged, and female and foreign workers alongside more mainstream players such as the governing party, large corporations, and labor unions. Finally, the book examines the strong influence of the Japanese political economy on the global economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Masataka Banno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198280335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198280330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Masataka Banno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001083379967,"sku":"9780198280330","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fce330ad-80cb-4030-bd68-6302c5ef8c3c.jpg?v=1751600015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-political-economy-of-japanese-masataka-banno-9780198280330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
