From Individualization to Globalization in Japan Today

Beschreibung

This book ranges in a detailed, systematic fashion across the major traditions of social theory prominent in Japan today - from theories of identity and individualization to systems theory and globalization studies. The volume introduces readers to the rich diversity of social-theoretical critique in contemporary Japanese social theory, and provides an authoritative set of exchanges between Japanese and Western social scientists on current trends of development in twenty-first century social thought.
