| Description: |
This text examines the various aspects of Japan's resistance to internationalization, and unearths the roots of the "sakoku" (secluded) mentality, identifying it as a fundamental impediment. The crucial role of the United States in previous open door policies is also considered. |
| Synopsis: |
More than a decade ago, Japan embarked on the third "Kaikoku" (open door policy) with the ultimate goal of internationalization ("Kokusaika"). The Japanese government reluctantly took up internationalization under the pressure of foreign governments, especially in the United States and Europe however, Japan has made only modest progress at a superficial level. In "Globalization of Japan", Mayumi Itoh examines the various aspects of Japan's resistance to internationalization. She shows how the opening up of Japan involves not only the accessibility of Japanese markets to foreign goods, but also the liberalization of the Japanese psyche from the "sakoku" (secluded nation) mentality. Itoh unearths the roots of the "sakoku" mentality and reveals it as the fundamental impediment to Japan's internationalization, examining various Japanese "sakoku" policies. She also analyzes the three open door policies that Japan has undertaken in the past and demonstrates how the United States played a crucial role in each one. |
