This newly-updated edition of Contemporary Japan has been expanded to include considered analysis of the cataclysmic earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 and their aftermath. Kingston sets the nation's current challenges in the context of events since the 1980s, when rampant speculation created an economic bubble that, when it burst, plunged the country into prolonged stagnation as housing and share prices imploded and public debt surged. This volume remains a superb guide to recent events in Japan, written by one of the foremost authorities on the history and politics of the region.
