Description

This critique of Western social science examines why Eurocentric perspectives have systematically overlooked Japan's political significance. The author argues that ignoring Japan represents not a moral failing but a fundamental scientific problem within Anglo-American philosophy and French theory. The book makes the case that Japan is the most important political system of our time, yet social scientists have consistently dismissed or marginalised its achievements. To address the needs of the Pacific Century, this work calls for intellectual renewal and a complete reassessment of how Western scholarship approaches non-Western political systems. Published by Routledge, this exploration of multicultural studies challenges conventional academic frameworks and offers a provocative perspective on the future of political science.

Key Features

Challenges Eurocentric blindness in Western social science through sustained critique of Anglo-American philosophy and French theory.

Positions Japan as the most important political system of our time, arguing for its central role in contemporary political analysis.

Examines why social scientists have ignored or denigrated Japan's political achievements and contributions to global understanding.

Offers intellectual renewal for social science to meet the demands of the Pacific Century and evolving geopolitical priorities.

Published by Routledge as a multicultural studies work addressing gaps in how Western academia approaches non-Western political systems.
