Abstract

"Many families believe that creating wealth is the real achievement; after that everything is easy. But that is far from the case: most family wealth runs into difficulty as the family attempts to pass it to the next generation and have them use it wisely. Sustaining and even adding to the family wealth across generations is actually a greater challenge than making it. The media is full of tragedies and morality tales about the loss of family wealth over generations, and how wealth produces successive generations of heirs who are dysfunctional and unproductive. Families search for advisors who can help them overcome this. But a few well-known families do not rest after their first generation of success. They continue to succeed across generations and develop new generations of family leaders who use their wealth in wise and wonderful ways, and even add to the family "wealth" both financially as well as in human and social dimensions. These family dynasties are role models for many families who want to see their wealth have positive impact on their children, as well as family employees and their community. This book presents the accumulated wisdom from a group of nearly 100 large global families who have continued as partners in business and wealth management over three of more generations. They are called Generative Families because they generate rather than diminish their wealth. Reporting from a study that interviewed 100 large, global families who had sustained a successful business and family connection over more than three generations. A picture is presented--in their own words--of the nature of global family enterprises and how they evolve over generations. These families are very private and do not commonly share the full details of what they have done to sustain vitality across generations. After a successful first generation, these families focus on developing a great family and renewing the business --engaging across generations, developing clear and co llaborative governance for family and business, developing the next generation, and serving the wider community"--

Abstract

"Since the early 1990s, there has been a clear evolution in the military dimension of Japanese diplomacy. From Gulf War I in 1991 to the present day, an incremental but unmistakable acceptance of, and resort to, military dispatches has taken place, and yet crucially, Japan has not morphed into a traditional military power. Exploring Japan's involvement in both Afghanistan and Iraq, this book examines the evolution and nature of the new civil-military dimension in Japanese foreign policy. It shows how foreign aid, Japan's traditional non-military diplomatic tool, was merged with the operations of the Japanese Self-Defense Force in Iraq and the activities of NATO-ISAF forces in Afghanistan, and emphasises the centrality of civilian power to Japanese foreign policy and diplomacy. However, Dennis Yasutomo argues that while a new civil-military security culture is replacing the old merchant state culture of pacifism and anti-militarism, Japan does not yet qualify as a military "normal nation". Further, the book's exploration of the increased utilization of military power within the context of civilian objectives and non-military diplomatic instruments, sheds light on the current build-up of Japanese military power in East and Southeast Asia amid territorial disputes and nuclear threats, and highlights the impact that Japan's new civil-military diplomacy may have on wider international affairs in the 21st Century.Drawing on interviews with key actors in Tokyo, as well as with practitioners who have served on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book will have broad appeal to students and scholars working on Japanese politics and diplomacy, military and security studies and international relations.
