This book, (LIFETIME OF SHINZO ABE: The Legacy of Japan's Former Prime Minister and the New Japan) undertakes research into the history of Japan and the life of Japanese former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, his economic policies, and legacies. Shinzo Abe was best known for his Abenomics, an economic program that raised government expenditure and pushed more cash into the circulation of the Japanese economy. It was renowned for two main changes: a vow to utilize macro policy levers to end deflation and a pledge to pursue supply-side reforms to boost Japan's actual potential growth, utilizing the "arrows." It chronicles the narrative of Abe's spectacular ascent and startling collapse, his extraordinary rebound, and his unusual emergence as a global statesman laying the framework for Japan's survival in a dangerous century.

On September 21, 1954, Shinzo Abe was born in Tokyo, Japan. He is a conservative politician and the current prime minister of Japan. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is credited for restoring political stability to the country. His first term as prime minister saw Abe give voice to swelling national sentiments after an economic downturn and numerous leadership changes. An unrelenting sense of nationalism and calls to alter Japan's pacifist constitution resulted from these feelings. When it comes to the Japanese government, his second tenure as Prime Minister is the most talked about position he's had. Back in 2012, what made him stand out from the crowd was his pledge, made in the context of structural changes, to fight hard to eliminate deflation through fiscal policies that would raise wages and boost economic development. While Abe's popularity has dwindled among voters and many members of his own party owing to cronyism scandals, he has retained his popularity with the Japanese public, who are optimistic about the future because of his laid-out programs. Approximately 5:03 p.m. local time has been given as the official time of death for Abe, according to medical specialists at Nara Medical University. Medical professionals revealed that they were unable to stop the significant bleeding after he was rushed to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest on Friday. This book will tell the story of Shinzo's early life and how it shaped him into the man he is now. You'll find out how he got to be a politician, who impacted him and why, where his political convictions originated from, and where he stands on important topics now. Get to know his relationships with politicians and his admiration for them, and discover how he helped shape national policies, such as improving Japan's ties with the United States of America.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 心の中で永遠に Shinzo Abe, the Great Leader of Japan, will be recognized for his enormous leadership achievements in Japan as well as his contributions to world peace and international diplomacy. Toyohiro Akiyama provides a superb study of Shinzo's life, the recent event of his murder, as well as the reason behind this horrific deed that took the life of Japan's Former Prime Minister, in this intriguing book. Abe led Japan's quest to host the 2020 Olympics and worked to strengthen relations between Tokyo and the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific region in an effort to improve the country's standing internationally. He stated that China's military modernisation and North Korea's nuclear development put Japan in a perilous world and increased the risk in its own area. He advocated for Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations and maintained a tough stance against China. Taiwan is an island claimed by Beijing. Abe was referred to as "not just a good friend but Taiwan's unwavering ally" by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday. Abe's 2013 decision to visit a contentious shrine honoring the Japanese war dead, becoming the first prime leader to do so since 2006, worsened relations between Beijing and Tokyo. The location is regarded as a monument to the atrocities done by the Japanese during World War II in both China and South Korea. Abe stressed the ties between the United States and Japan, and he was the first head of state to meet with Donald Trump after he was elected president in November 2016. Late on Thursday, the former president referred to Abe as "a very outstanding man and leader" in a post on his Truth Social website. He was a genuine friend of mine and, more significantly, of America, added Trump. "The beautiful people of Japan, who loved and appreciated him so much, have been dealt a devastating blow," When Trump pulled the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a planned trade pact with 11 other Pacific countries, he threw Abe a curveball. Japan took the initiative in drafting a replacement deal without the United States under Abe's direction. In order to further American involvement in the Indo-Pacific area, Abe was also a leading factor for the revival of the Quad, an informal security alliance made up of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. One of the finest eye openers for the circumstances surrounding Shinzo's life and death is this book. 心の中で永遠に (c)️ Toyohiro Akiyama

"A penetrating overview of Japan, from a historical, social, political, economic, and cultural perspective"--

The book offers a study of a fascinating political personality, that of Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzôō (2012-2020). Abe's political career was boosted by his predecessor Koizumi Jun.ichirōô and he seemed extremely promising at 51 when he rose to become the youngest Cabinet Secretariat chief, however once in power in 2007 he disappointed by resigning after only one year. Yet, he rose again in 2012 to become the longest-serving prime minister of Japan's history since the end of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when Japan went through a radical process of modernisation and westernisation, becoming a major military and imperialist power in the process. The book seeks to answer three questions. How could Abe Shinzô remain in power for nearly a decade in a country where prime ministers usually have much shorter terms, in some cases of only one year? He remained in power in spite of the fact that he sought to conduct massive reforms. What was the policy mix devised to keep voters happy, while promoting structural reforms and growth? He was in power for almost ten years. What is his legacy: what remains of his tenure as chief executive?

Over the course of the twentieth century, Japan has experienced a radical shift in its self-perception. After World War II, Japan embraced a peaceful and anti-militarist identity, which was based on its war-prohibiting Constitution and the foreign policy of the Yoshida doctrine. For most of the twentieth century, this identity was unusually stable. In the last couple of decades, however, Japan’s self-perception and foreign policy seem to have changed. Tokyo has conducted a number of foreign policy actions as well as symbolic internal gestures that would have been unthinkable a few decades ago and that symbolize a new and more confident Japan. Japanese politicians – including Prime Minister Abe Shinzō – have adopted a new discourse depicting pacifism as a hindrance, rather than asset, to Japan’s foreign policy. Does that mean that “Japan is back”? In order to better understand the dynamics of contemporary Japan, Kolmaš joins up the dots between national identity theory and Japanese revisionism. The book shows that while political elites and a portion of the Japanese public call for re-articulation of Japan’s peaceful identity, there are still societal and institutional forces that prevent this change from entirely materializing.

Japan is the world's No. 2 economy, greater in GDP than Britain and France together and almost double that of China. It is also the most durable, generous, and unquestioning ally of the US, attaching priority to its Washington ties over all else. In Client State, Gavan McCormack examines the current transformation of Japan, designed to meet the demands from Washington that Japan become the "Great Britain of the Far East." Exploring postwar Japan's relationship with America, he contends that US pressure has been steadily applied to bring Japan in line with neoliberal principles. The Bush administration's insistence on Japan's thorough subordination has reached new levels, and is an agenda heavily in the American, rather than the Japanese, national interest. It includes comprehensive institutional reform, a thorough revamp of the security and defense relationship with the US, and-alarmingly-vigorous pursuit of Japan's acquisition of nuclear weapons.
