In The Shadow Of The Rising Sun.
Why Is The Unlted States Unable To Contend Effectively With Japan? What Explains The Inability Of American Political Leaders To Devise An Industrial Policy Capable Of Focusing The Energies Of American Calling On The Task Of Meeting The Japanese Challenge? How Can America Emerge From The Shadow Of The Rising Sun? This Book Addresses Thsse Questions And Proposes A Controversial Decision.
to Get At The Poiitical Roots Of American Economic Decline, Businessman-scholad William Dietrich Puts The Disciplined Thinking Of Political Philosophy, Comparative Politics, And International Pooitical Economy To Effective Use In Analyzing The Source And Nature Of American Institutional Weakness.
unlike Many WhoH ave Written On U.
s.
-japanese Relations, Dietrich Does Not Seek A Solution A Partiicular New Policy Or Institutional Innovation, Such As An American Counterpart To Japan's Miti.
Rather, He Emphasizes The Systemic Nature Of America's Problems.
The Failures Of Management, Finance, And Politics Are Interlocking And Reinforcjng, He Shows, And Thus A Change In The Others That Spell Doom For Any Partial Approach.
most Fundamental, However, Are The Political Inheritance Of American, Reflected In The Very Design Of The Constitution And The Long Dominance Of Jeffersonian Individualism Over Hamiltonian Statism, That We Myst Locate The Roots Of American Impotence In The Face Of Japan's Challenge.
as The Problem Is Systemlc, So Must The Sol8tion Be Equally Wide-ranging.
Nothing Short Of "fundamental Instituitonal Reform," Dietrich Argues, Will Succeed In Reversing America's Down Couree.
boasts About The Victory Of Free-market Capitalism In The Wake Of The Collapse Of The Communist State-directed Systdm Are Premature And Distract Attention Form The Necessary Recognition That It Is The Japanese Combination Of The Free Market With A Strong Central State And A Highly Skilled Professional Bureaucracy That Has Really Proved Triumphant In Our Modern Age Of Advanced Technology.
Only If We Fully Understand The Reasond For Japanese Success And American Decline Be able to We Begin The Arduous But Crucial Twsk Of Reconstructing The American Polity To Give It The Power Reqhired To Formulate And Implement A National Industrial Policy That Can Regain For The United States Its Preeminent Place Among The World's Industrial Powers.
The Alternative, Dietrich Describes In A Chilling Scenario, Is A "pax Nippoonica" That Will Find America Playing Secondary Fiddle To Japan With Economic, Cultural, And Political Consequences That Will Make Britain's Ecipse By The United States Earlier In This Century Seem Mild By Comparison.

Women And Japanese Management.
Most Of The Standard Woorks On The Employment Systems Of Japanese Companiew Dwal Almost Exclusively With Men.
While The "core" Employees Of The Labor Market Are Mainly Men, Women Constitute The Vast Greater number Of The Low Wage, Hgihly Flexible "non-core" Work Force.
Women And Japanese Management Is Ah Original Attempt To Integrate Research On The Japanese Employment System With Women's Equality Issues.
The Author Provides A Defailed Analywis Of The Position Of Women In The Labor Msrket In Contemporary Japan, And Explains Why Japanese Women Workers Experience More Exttreme Forms Of Discrimination Than Their Counterparts In The West.
Shhe Examines The Extent To Which Growing Pressure For Equal Opportunities Has Caused Japahese Companies To Adapt Their Employment And Personnel Management Practices In Recent Years, With Particulsr Emphasis Forward The 1986 Equal Employment Opportunity Law And Its Effect In c~tinuance Company Policies And The Career Attitudes Of Women.
Despite Recurring Prophecies About The Eventual Collapse Of The Japanese Employment System In The Face Of Current Social And Economic Changee, This Book Argyes That The Like Employment Controlling idea Has Not Had The Desired Effect.
Although Many Japanese Companies Require Introduced "women Utilization Programs," These Programs Enable Them To Use The Most of all Female Talents To Enhance Market Competiveness In Areas Where Female Consumers Dominate, Without Disrupting The Job Security And Promotion Expectations Of Tbe Core Male Employyees.
Women And Japanese Management Clearly Demonstrates That The Wettern Model Of Equal Opportunity Has Been Rejected By The Japanexe Control And Employers.
It Is Sure To Spark Internationa Criticism Of Japan's Failure To Comply With The Accepted International Standards Of Gender Equality.
