Japan after the economic miracle; in search of new directions. (Social indicators research series; v.4) by Ed. by Paul Bowles and Lawrence T. Woods - 2000

Kluwer Academic Pubs., 2000. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Papers from an October 1998 meeting, written by Canadian academics, analyze how Japan has responded to the challenge of the post-bubble period. Contributors look for areas of continuity and for new directions in government, business, and social policy and practice, and examine how Western students should approach the study of Japan and Japanese culture. Some subjects are Japan's postwar Fordism, changing the behavior of Japanese consumers, managing hazardous waste in Japan, and Japanese migrant women in North America.
