What have been the fundamental shifts in Japanese society over the past decade? And what has remained the same? What will the country look like in five years from now? Introducing you to all aspects of Japanese society, culture, politics, economy, geography and history, this book guides you through the country's enduring features, recent trends and the most interesting areas of analysis: - Gender roles, gender fluidity and LBGTQ identities: including coverage of singledom and the changing nature of family life - Changing demographics: considering the impact of increased immigration from China and Vietnam coupled with a falling birth rate and declining indigenous population - The current state of Japanese politics: analysing the dominance of the LDP and the legacy of Shinzo Abe - Reflections on contemporary Japanese culture: discussing the politics of education, the role of the media and the online sphere, new social movements, environmentalism - Trends in Japan's external relations: looking at the LDP's increased defence spending, the continued rise of China and Russia's war in Ukraine. With case studies, the latest data and lively debate, Contemporary Japan is essential reading if you are studying any aspect of Japanese sociology, politics, history, culture or language, or if you are simply interested in learning more about the country.
