Beschreibung
The 1990s in Japan have been a period of far-reaching
changes in Japanese society, which have not come to an end
yet. These developments demand a reexamination of our
accumulated knowledge of Japan. This volume looks at them
from different perspectives; the contributions deal with
issues from the fields of economy, education, political and
social science. The volume is a collection of papers from
the 2002 meeting of the German Association of Social
Scientific Research of Japan (VSJF) at Halle-Wittenberg
University.
