Kozo Uno influenced a whole generation of marxian political economists in post World War II Japan. Thomas Sekine worked closely with Uno in Japan and later came to York University in Toronto, where he introduced Uno's ideas to Canadian scholars. Sekine has significantly enlarged and refined Uno's work, and in the process has influenced scholars in both Japan and Canada. This anthology is a collection of essays in marxian political economy by scholars who have been influenced by Sekine's particular appropriation of Uno's ideas.

Late‐developing countries often adopt best practice technologies pioneered abroad, facilitating convergence toward leading economies. Meiji Japan (1868–1912) is one successful example of industrial convergence, but much of the evidence relies on national aggregates or selected industries. Using historical industry data, this paper examines whether Japan adopted new technologies faster compared to the United States. Contrary to conventional wisdom, new sectors did not appear relatively sooner in Japan, however, they did grow to economic significance faster.

With regard to the development of law, legal science has played an important role in Japan. Therefore, publications such as treatises and articles that deal with legal science are considered extremely important. The legal system of Japan is a result of the reception of European code law, mainly from Germany and France. Besides the legal system, legal science was also adopted concurrently from Germany and other countries, and the position in which legal science is placed in Japan is very similar to that in those countries.

Ever since 1889, when the Emperor Meiji granted his people a constitution, Japan may be called a constitutional monarchy. But these simple words do not tell the whole story. The designation used by the Almanach de Gotha in referring to Czarist Russia—a "constitutional autocracy"—may be as appropriately applied to modern Japan. Japan has a constitution and a monarch, but in the eyes of both the people and the statesmen of the Restoration Period, the monarch comes before the constitution.

The Japanese Empire and Latin America provides a comprehensive analysis of the complicated relationship between Japanese migration and capital exportation to Latin America and the rise and fall of the empire in the Asia-Pacific region. It explains how Japan's presence influenced the cultures and societies of Latin American countries and also explores the role of Latin America in the evolution of Japanese expansion. Together, this collection of essays presents a new narrative of the Japanese experience in Latin America by excavating trans-Pacific perspectives that shed new light on the global significance of Japan's colonialism and expansionism.The chapters cover a variety of topics, such as economic expansion, migration management, cross-border community making, the surge of pro-Japan propaganda in the Americas, the circulation of knowledge, and the representation of the "other" in Japanese and Latin American fictions. By focusing on both government action and individual experiences, the viewpoints examined create a complete analysis, including the roles the empire played in the process of settler identity formation in Latin America. While the colonialist and expansionist discourses in Japan set a stage for the beginning of Japanese migration to Latin America, it was the vibrant circulation of information between East Asia and the Americas that allowed the empire to stay at the center of the cultural life of communities on the other side of the globe. The empire left an enduring mark on Latin America that is hard to ignore. This volume explores long-neglected aspects of the Japanese global expansion; and thus, moves our understanding of the empire's significance beyond Asia and rethinks its legacy in global history

A study of pol & PO in Japan after WWII. The degree of popularity enjoyed by pol'al leaders in Japan is analyzed & compared with the UK & the US. Japanese Cabinet Chief M. Yoshida's public standing is compared with that of K. Adenauer, D. D. Eisenhower, C. de Gaulle, Mao Tse-Tung, N. Khruschev & other pol'al figures. Participation of the Japanese in pol'al life is studied on the basis of election statistics & on the basis of the SES, occup, & ideological preferences of voters. Data from PO polls is presented. No clear categories for high pol'al participation according to sex, age, educ, & occup emerge. It is concluded that pol'al participation in Japan is about as strong as that in Western countries. No great variations were found in the degree of participation among SC's. It is equally strong in all classes of society. 5 Tables & 8 Graphs. M. Maxfield.
