The book offers a study of a fascinating political personality, that of Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzôō (2012-2020). Abe's political career was boosted by his predecessor Koizumi Jun.ichirōô and he seemed extremely promising at 51 when he rose to become the youngest Cabinet Secretariat chief, however once in power in 2007 he disappointed by resigning after only one year. Yet, he rose again in 2012 to become the longest-serving prime minister of Japan's history since the end of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when Japan went through a radical process of modernisation and westernisation, becoming a major military and imperialist power in the process. The book seeks to answer three questions. How could Abe Shinzô remain in power for nearly a decade in a country where prime ministers usually have much shorter terms, in some cases of only one year? He remained in power in spite of the fact that he sought to conduct massive reforms. What was the policy mix devised to keep voters happy, while promoting structural reforms and growth? He was in power for almost ten years. What is his legacy: what remains of his tenure as chief executive?
Shinzo Abe entered politics burdened by high expectations: that he would change Japan. In 2007, seemingly overwhelmed, he resigned after only a year as prime minister. Yet, following five years of reinvention, he masterfully regained the premiership in 2012, and now dominates Japanese democracy as no leader has done before. Abe has inspired fierce loyalty among his followers, cowing Japan's left with his ambitious economic program and support for the security and armed forces. He has staked a leadership role for Japan in a region being rapidly transformed by the rise of China and India, while carefully preserving an ironclad relationship with Trump's America. The Iconoclast tells the story of Abe's meteoric rise and stunning fall, his remarkable comeback, and his unlikely emergence as a global statesman laying the groundwork for Japan's survival in a turbulent century.
This book focuses on Prime Minister Abe’s policy toward international peace and security proposed in 2013 under the basic principle of ‘proactive contribution to peace’. To this end, this book investigates Prime Minister Abe’s policy-making process of the Peace and Security Legislation, which transformed Japan’s security policy and enabled Japan to exercise the right of ‘collective self-defense’, which used to be ‘unconstitutional’. This book evaluates the implications of the Peace and Security Legislation on three fronts, domestic, bilateral, and international, by analyzing Japan’s Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program, the Japan-US alliance system, and Japan’s policy on international peacekeeping operations in South Sudan. This book is one of the first contributions to the research on Japan’s foreign and security policy under the Shinzo Abe administration and will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and students of Japan, Japanese politics and international relations of the Asia-Pacific region.
Explores the politics and economics of the Abe government and evaluates major policies, such as Abenomics policy reforms.
“Brigid Schulte is a vital voice on the future of work, and her carefully researched book lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning.” ―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast WorkLife From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn’t working and how our lives can be made more meaningful Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte’s groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prizewinning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America’s quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans. Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty. She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan’s Housewives Brigade—which demands legal protection for family time—and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business. Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 心の中で永遠に Shinzo Abe, the Great Leader of Japan, will be recognized for his enormous leadership achievements in Japan as well as his contributions to world peace and international diplomacy. Toyohiro Akiyama provides a superb study of Shinzo's life, the recent event of his murder, as well as the reason behind this horrific deed that took the life of Japan's Former Prime Minister, in this intriguing book. Abe led Japan's quest to host the 2020 Olympics and worked to strengthen relations between Tokyo and the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific region in an effort to improve the country's standing internationally. He stated that China's military modernisation and North Korea's nuclear development put Japan in a perilous world and increased the risk in its own area. He advocated for Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations and maintained a tough stance against China. Taiwan is an island claimed by Beijing. Abe was referred to as "not just a good friend but Taiwan's unwavering ally" by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday. Abe's 2013 decision to visit a contentious shrine honoring the Japanese war dead, becoming the first prime leader to do so since 2006, worsened relations between Beijing and Tokyo. The location is regarded as a monument to the atrocities done by the Japanese during World War II in both China and South Korea. Abe stressed the ties between the United States and Japan, and he was the first head of state to meet with Donald Trump after he was elected president in November 2016. Late on Thursday, the former president referred to Abe as "a very outstanding man and leader" in a post on his Truth Social website. He was a genuine friend of mine and, more significantly, of America, added Trump. "The beautiful people of Japan, who loved and appreciated him so much, have been dealt a devastating blow," When Trump pulled the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a planned trade pact with 11 other Pacific countries, he threw Abe a curveball. Japan took the initiative in drafting a replacement deal without the United States under Abe's direction. In order to further American involvement in the Indo-Pacific area, Abe was also a leading factor for the revival of the Quad, an informal security alliance made up of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. One of the finest eye openers for the circumstances surrounding Shinzo's life and death is this book. 心の中で永遠に (c)️ Toyohiro Akiyama
Three voices. Three acts of defiance. One mass injustice. The story of camp as you’ve never seen it before. Japanese Americans complied when evicted from their homes in World War II -- but many refused to submit to imprisonment in American concentration camps without a fight. In this groundbreaking graphic novel, meet JIM AKUTSU, the inspiration for John Okada’s No-No Boy, who refuses to be drafted from the camp at Minidoka when classified as a non-citizen, an enemy alien; HIROSHI KASHIWAGI, who resists government pressure to sign a loyalty oath at Tule Lake, but yields to family pressure to renounce his U.S. citizenship; and MITSUYE ENDO, a reluctant recruit to a lawsuit contesting her imprisonment, who refuses a chance to leave the camp at Topaz so that her case could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Based upon painstaking research, We Hereby Refuse presents an original vision of America’s past with disturbing links to the American present.
This book, (LIFETIME OF SHINZO ABE: The Legacy of Japan's Former Prime Minister and the New Japan) undertakes research into the history of Japan and the life of Japanese former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, his economic policies, and legacies. Shinzo Abe was best known for his Abenomics, an economic program that raised government expenditure and pushed more cash into the circulation of the Japanese economy. It was renowned for two main changes: a vow to utilize macro policy levers to end deflation and a pledge to pursue supply-side reforms to boost Japan's actual potential growth, utilizing the "arrows." It chronicles the narrative of Abe's spectacular ascent and startling collapse, his extraordinary rebound, and his unusual emergence as a global statesman laying the framework for Japan's survival in a dangerous century.
