Course Catalog Description

This course addresses a twofold question: what did the 20th century mean for Japan? And what did Japan mean for the 20th century? In search of answers, we will trace Japan's emergence as a “world-shaper” in its two phases, military and economic, focusing on the institutional, social, and cultural transformations that were attendant to each phase and continue to define Japan’s presence in the contemporary world.
