Client State : Japan in America's Embrace

這這個標題提供了對日本戰後向“遠東大不列顛”轉型的全面考察 - 受到美國議程的支持。日本是世界第二大經濟體，國內生產總值比英國和法國還要高，幾乎是中國的兩倍。

它也是美國最耐用，最慷慨和毫無疑問的盟友，把華盛頓的關係放在首要位置。在“客戶國”中，Gavan McCormack審視了日本目前的轉型，旨在滿足華盛頓日本成為“遠東大不列顛”的要求。探索戰後日本與美國的關係，他認為美國的壓力一直在穩步實施，以使日本符合新自由主義原則。

Bush政府堅持日本徹底的從屬地位已經達到了新的高度，這在美國而不是日本的國家利益中是一個重要的議程。包括全面的體制改革，徹底改革與美國的安全和防務關係，以及 - 令人震驚的是 - 積極追求日本獲得核武器。

This title offers a comprehensive examination of Japan's postwar transformation into the "Great Britain of the Far East" - beholden to the agenda of the US. 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.
