PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

Japan's rapid rise to prominence on the world stage is a phenomenon interesting on many levels. This small island nation has become a world power in less than a century and a half - and particularly during the years since the end of World War II. To help us understand Japan, Professor Rohlen traces the roots of the Japanese commitment to learning beyond the Meiji era in the 19th century to Japan's feudal and Confucian past. He also explicates contemporary educational practices in Japan and compares them to education in the United States.
