We're joined by Dr. Ryosuke Maeda of Hokkaido University. Our discussion focuses on his work as a historian of Japanese politics, and the ways Japan's past continue to be reflected in modern politics.
Dr. Maeda, like each of our guests this season, is a member of the fifth cohort of the Mansfield Foundation’s U.S.-Japan Network for the Future.
His academic profile is available at https://researchers.general.hokudai.ac.jp/profile/en.9c24fcc44fc2cc70520e17560c007669.html
A translation of his Hokkaido Shimbun piece on former Prime Minister Abe's assassination is online at https://mansfieldfdn.org/wp-content/uploads/Maeda_op-ed-EN.pdf
Dr. Maeda recommends Junji Banno's book, Empire and Constitution in Modern Japan. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/empire-and-constitution-in-modern-japan-9781350240407/
