Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-7936-2231-0 (ISBN)
In Visions of Democracy and Peace in Occupied Japan, Sigal Ben-Rafael Galanti examines American occupation of Japan during World War II and the evolution of Japan’s political parties to highlight the country’s struggles for a democratic and peaceful “Japanese Japan.” Using a dynamic analysis approach, Galanti examines the pre-war, pro-democratic ideals and legacies that built Japan’s political parties and the parties’ evolving views on regime matters, socioeconomic structure, international relations, and security both during and after the country’s occupation by American forces.
Sigal Ben-Rafael Galanti heads the Berl Katznelson Chair for the Study of the Labor Movement and is senior lecturer in the Social Science and Civics Department at Beit-Berl College, research fellow at the Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and chair of the Israeli Association for Japanese Studies.
