Recensione:

"Here, as in the previous two editions of Stockwin′s respected introductory texts on Japanese government, the economic state of Japan is rightly judged to be the linch–pin of political well–being and of global interest in this country. " David Williams, Japan Times

"Governing Japan is a splendid achievement: balanced, sober and authoritative. Sometimes dismissed as "old–fashioned" by those who should know better, his approach draws on the political scientific tradition at its best. This book is a triumph of the liberal spirit." David Williams, Japan Times

"Professor Stockwin′s book is a careful investigation of Japan′s political system, with the approach being that of an informed, but outside, observer. From an academic point of view, the arguments are clearly set out, thoroughly justified, and the key issues within the field are addressed. Given the debates in the 1990s between proponents of ′rational choice theory′ and the revisionists, Stockwin′s book takes a refreshing and timely middle road, acknowledging the value of both schools of thought." Curtis Andressen, Flinders University, Australian Journal of Political Science
