Description

This definitive study explores the critical yet overlooked role of science and technology in Japan's post-war economic transformation during the Allied occupation period from 1945 to 1952. Published by Routledge as part of the Japan Library series, the book provides the first comprehensive examination of how the Scientific and Technical Division of General MacArthur's General Headquarters laid the essential groundwork for Japan's remarkable industrial recovery and technological advancement. Discover how occupation-era policies, knowledge transfer, and institutional development shaped the foundations of Japanese innovation that would later drive the nation's emergence as a global economic powerhouse. This scholarly work fills a significant gap in historical literature by demonstrating the direct connection between post-war scientific infrastructure and the broader economic miracle that followed, offering readers essential context for understanding modern Japan's technological leadership and economic success.
