"Die Vielgestaltigkeit der religiösen Landschaft der japanischen Inselwelt präsentiert Michael Pye in diesem Band in chronologischem Zugriff: Er spannt einen erzählenden Bogen von den archäologisch greifbaren Anfängen bis zur schillernd-pluralistischen Gegenwartskultur. Dabei gilt ein besonderes Augenmerk der internen Verzweigung und gegenseitigen Durchdringung religiöser Traditionen verschiedenen Ursprungs, wie von Shinto und Buddhismus. Wissenschaftlich up-to-date und gleichzeitig für eine breite Leserschaft leicht zugänglich präsentiert der Autor das spannende und weit verzweigte Netz der japanischen Religionsgeschichte mit ihren Wechselbeziehungen zu Kultur und Politik, zwischen Rezeption von Fremden über Transformation zu genuin japanischen Ausformungen bis hin zu ihrer Präsenz in Übersee." --

Japan is emerging as a more prominent global and regional military power, defying traditional categorisations of a minimalist contribution to the US-Japan alliance, maintaining anti-militarism, seeking an internationalist role, or carving out more strategic autonomy. Instead, this Element argues that Japan has fundamentally shifted its military posture over the last three decades and traversed into a new categorisation of a more capable military power and integrated US ally. This results from Japan's recognition of its fundamentally changing strategic environment that requires a new grand strategy and military doctrines. The shift is traced across the national security strategy components of Japan Self-Defence Forces' capabilities, US-Japan alliance integration, and international security cooperation. The Element argues that all these components are subordinated inevitably to the objectives of homeland security and re-strengthening the US-Japan alliance, and thus Japan's development as international security partner outside the ambit of the bilateral alliance remains stunted.

Here is a rare first-hand account by a foreigner living and working in Japan in the first half of the twentieth century which provides a unique insight into this important period of Japan's history, and complements the existing archival material. Beginning his career as a student interpreter, Oswald White went on to become an assistant in Korea, Vice-Consul in Yokohama and Osaka, Consul in Nagasaki and Dairen, then Consul-General in Seoul, Osaka, Mukden and Tientsin. Not a contemporary diary as such, but a write-up of notes made towards the end of White's career spanning thirty-eight years. Importantly, it includes reflective passages on the momentous developments of the later 1930s, as Japan moved onto a war-footing in China - and as Consul-General in the Chinese treaty port of Tianjin under Japanese occupation, White was in the middle of the growing tensions between Britain and Japan. His recollections after leaving Korea (summer 1941) are also valuable. Like others who had lived and worked in Japan, he sought to come to terms with what had happened to the country in which he had spent so much of his adult life. Along the way he provides fascinating vignettes of his colleagues, some well known, others less so, while his service in Seoul, Mukden (now Shenyang) and Tianjin provides fresh information on the development of the Japanese colonial empire.
