Moreover, as the authors argue, empires have afterlives, which, in the case of Japan's empire, is not much studied. This book considers the details of de-imperialization, including repatriation of Japanese personnel, the redrawing of boundaries, issues to do with prisoners of war and war criminals, new arrangements for democratic political institutions, for media and for the regulation of trade. It also discusses the continuing impact of empire: on the countries ruled or occupied by Japan, where as a result of Japanese management and administration, both formal and informal, patterns of behavior and attitudes were established which continued subsequently. This was true in Japan itself, where returning imperial personnel had to be absorbed and adjustments made to imperial thinking; and on present day East Asia, where the shadow of Japan's empire still lingers. This legacy of unresolved issues concerning the correct relationship of Japan, an important, energetic, outgoing nation and a potential regional 'hub,' with the rest of the region not comfortably settled in this era, remains a fulcrum of regional dispute"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 Imperialism |xHistory |y20th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104314 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xInfluence. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85148426 650 0 Decolonization |zEast Asia |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Postcolonialism |zEast Asia |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Japan |xRelations |zEast Asia. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115656 651 0 East Asia |xRelations |zJapan. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114880 651 0 Japan |xForeign relations |y1945-1989. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85069425 651 0 East Asia |xPolitics and government |y1945- |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2011005251 700 1 Kushner, Barak, |d1968- |eeditor of compilation. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002064281 700 1 Muminov, Sherzod, |eeditor of compilation. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2016070418 830 0 Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia (2005) ; |v123. 852 0 |bf |hDS518.45 |i.D57 2017 902 kl |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170214 904 kl |ba |hm |cb |e20170214 914 (OCoLC)ocn953440211 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f953440211
