Author Description

The 1990s Have Been Termed As 'japan's Lost Decade' To Describe How The Phenomenal Growth In The Japanese Economy Ground To A Halt And The Country Was Crippled By Enormous And Ongoing Political, Economic And Social Problems. In Responding To These Unprecedented Difficulties, Wide-ranging Reforms Have Been Adopted Including Npo, Information Disclosure And Judicial Reform Legislation. Controversially, This Book Argues That Such Reforms Are Creating A More Robust Civil Society And Demonstrate That Japan Is Far More Dynamic Than Is Generally Recognized.
