Reviews

This is an interesting book that deals with the essential topic of the generalizability of democracy in countries with East Asian cultural values and, specifically, Confucian values in Japan... The text will be of clear benefit to scholars of politics and democracy in Japan as well as those interested in Japan studies, in general. - Gloria Garcia, ICADE Business School, University of Tokyo; Journal of International and Global Studies Volume 4, Number 1, (November 2012).
