Study on the History of Japanese Politics and Diplomacy

<p>The articles cover many topics involving politics economy culture diplomacy and other aspects and have a high academic value. Researcher <strong>Wu Yin</strong> the author has been devoted to the study of Japanese issues for a long time from the early study of the history of China-Japan relations to the later study of contemporary Japanese international relations. Her study covers the <strong>China-Japan relations</strong> in various historical periods and involves various fields of <strong>contemporary Japanese political culture</strong>. Her discussion from the perspectives of Emperor politics (<em>Tenn?</em>) and concept of family-country (<em>kazoku kokka</em>) can be regarded as the key to Japan's political culture. However the proposition of the <strong>view of equal imbalance</strong> in today's China-Japan relations is of great enlightening significance to people's deep understanding of the essence of China-Japan relations under the cover of various complicated appearances. There are many similar highlights in the manuscript so I will not list them. I believe that with one volume in hand readers will be able to understand the context of China-Japan relations. It is worth noting that the manuscript is <strong>not only academic but also highly readable</strong> due to the author's fluent writing. It is not only of reference value to professional Japanese researchers but also suitable for general readers to read. In addition in the interview record of a Japanese researcher's path the author deeply reviewed the footprints of his own academic path in which the spirit of academic research revealed can also give the later generations of scholars extraordinary incentives.</p>
