Description: Including contributors with diverse backgrounds and outlooks this volume provides an unconventional and provocative look at how Japan is situated in a globally unfolding transition in methods of democratic government. In Japan's case the country is making a transition from "karaoke democracy" to "kabuki democracy."

A must - read for those interested in knowing where Japan is heading.
