Genre: Business & Economics
ISBN: 0333985680

This book combines a theoretical study of Japan's economic structures and multinational enterprises with a post-modern analysis of the contemporary multinational enterprise. The author considers the appropriateness of the post-modern approach for discussing economic activities, in particular the New Economy, and also Japanese society and culture. Kensy analyses Japan's economic structure, interpreting its methods, strategies and results in a post-modern context and presents a survey of socio-economic development in Japan since the beginning of westernization. He goes on to discuss Japanese models for the transformation of society in the future, with particular reference to the Keiretzu. Finding Japan to be a truly postmodern society, Kensy shows that Japan is prepared to be a leader in the New Economy. Kensy takes an innovative and stimulating approach that will be of interest to those seeking to better understand the development and future of the economic structures of Japan.

European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and systemically. Unlike traditional European legal histories, which tend to concentrate on "heartlands" of Europe (notably Italy and Germany), the Europe of the Handbook is more versatile and nuanced, taking into consideration the legal developments in Europe's geographical "fringes" such as Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The Handbook covers all major time periods, from the ancient Greek law to the twenty-first century. Contributors include acknowledged leaders in the field as well as rising talents, representing a wide range of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise and research agendas.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Jura - Rechtsphilosophie, Rechtssoziologie, Rechtsgeschichte, Note: 2,3, FernUniversität Hagen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Entwicklung des japanischen Rechts in Grundzügen bis zum Jahr 1868. Die Bearbeitung geschichtlicher Themen ist in vielerlei Hinsicht schwierig. Zum einen ist eine Beschränkung erforderlich zum anderen soll ein möglichst breiter Überblick gegeben sowie eine Struktur geschaffen werden. Für die japanische Rechtsgeschichte ergibt sich das Problem, dass Japan erst 1872 den gregorianischen Kalender übernommen hat, so dass die davor stattgefundene Jahreszählung Fehler aufweisen kann. Daher erfolgt in aller Regel in wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen eine systematische Aufstellung nach kaiserlichen Ärabezeichnungen oder die Aufteilung in drei große Zeitabschnitte: Altzeit, Mittlere Zeit und Neuere Zeit. Die Perioden kann man wie folgt einteilen: Vor- und Frühgeschichte (genshi) 250 v. Chr. bis ca. 710 n. Chr., Altertum (kodai) ca. 300 (710) - 1192; (Mittelalter) 1192 - 1568, Frühmoderne Geschichte (kinsei) 1573 - 1867, Moderne (kindai) bis 1945 und Zeitgeschichte (gendai) seit 1945. Dennoch werden in dieser Arbeit Jahreszahlen angegeben, damit eine ungefähre Einordnung auch in die europäische Rechtsgeschichte möglich ist. Japan hat durch seinen Inselstatus und die dadurch gegebene Isolation lange Zeit weder eine besondere Zivilisation oder Weltreligion gehabt. Das Herkommen des japanischen Volkes ist noch weitgehend ungeklärt, ist aber für die Rechtsgeschichte von nicht als zu großer Bedeutung. Obwohl in der heutigen Zeit Japan sehr viele Rechtsnormen aus Westeuropa übernommen hat, ist es sinnvoll auch sehr alte Rechtsstrukturen zu betrachten, um das heutige Recht und Rechtsverständnis in Japan besser nachvollziehen zu können. Diese Darstellung beginnt in der Altzeit und endet mit dem Ende der Tokugawa-Zeit. Sie wird chronologisch vorgehen und einen Schwerpunkt auf die Tokugawa-Zeit legen. Für diese sind viele Quellen erhältlich und sie stellt die letzte lange Ära und entscheidende Zeit vor der Miji-Ära dar.

First Published in 1930, History of Japanese Religion shows the interaction of various forces which manifested their vitality more in combination than in opposition. A saying ascribed to Prince Shotoku, the founder of Japanese civilization, compares the three religious and moral systems found in Japan to the root, the stem and branches, and the flowers and fruits of a tree. Shinto is the root embedded in the soil of the people's character and national traditions; Confucianism is seen in the stem and branches of legal institutions, ethical codes, and educational systems; Buddhism made the flowers of religious sentiment bloom and gave the fruits of spiritual life. These sentences outlines the scheme of the work and achievement that has long maintained a high reputation among students and scholars. This important and frequently cited book has been out of print for many decades and thus increasingly difficult to access. It is therefore a privilege as well as a pleasure to make it available once again in a complete and unabridged reprint of the original. This is a must read for students of religion, Japanese culture and Japanese history.
