Reviews
Craig Mark's The Abe Restoration is a masterful survey of the Japanese economy and politics since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's second coming in 2012. Mark's focus on the Abe record in the overall context of postwar Japanese development and the changing nature of the system since the momentous changes of the 1990s give the reader a breathtaking view of the seismic shifts in America's key Asian ally. The notion of a political restoration on par with the Meiji Restoration that opened Japan in the late nineteenth century is apt, and is a useful way to reconceptualize Japan as it shifts to a new security paradigm for the early twenty-first century. Readers will take away a much better sense of direction for a country that may once again truly become the Land of the Rising Sun. -- Joel R. Campbell, Troy University
