Description

Explore the evolution of Japan's domestic security through this detailed study from the Routledge Contemporary Japan Series. This book examines the massive shift in how the Japanese government protects its citizens from military attacks and terrorism. Following major events like the 1995 Tokyo subway attack and the 9/11 attacks, Japan underwent its most significant reform of the postwar era regarding crisis management, known as "kiki-kanri." Readers will learn about the transition to the current civil protection system, referred to as "kokumin-hogo." The text provides context on how the changing security landscape in East Asia and the historical impact of the two world wars in the 20th century shaped the development of national institutions. This work is an essential resource for those studying Japanese politics, security studies, and the historical development of civil defense systems in a modern global context.
