Description

An Empire of Schools by Routledge provides a new framework for understanding the relationship between Japan and the United States. Through in-depth analysis and extensive interviews, the author explores how the Japanese educational system shapes the nation's leadership. Rather than focusing on cultural or economic differences, this book examines the educational treadmill that produces the Japanese power elite. It investigates the influence of the five national and private universities that serve as the foundation for almost all Japanese leaders. This study offers a unique perspective on the "cartels of the mind" that define the country's leadership structure and affect international communications.
