About this product
Product Information
The Ritual of Rights in Japan rejects the traditional view that Japan is a nation where overt conflict and the assertion of rights are unacceptable. It examines both historical events and contemporary policy, in concluding that rights-based conflict is an important part of Japanese legal, political, and social practice.

'... compelling insights into the role of individual rights in Japan, persuasively critiques prevailing models of the legal system and social conflict in Japan, and effectively highlights the similarities - as well as the differences - between Japan and other countries. As such, it should appeal to students of Japanese history and politics as well as legal studies. It is, in short, essential and provocative reading for all students of Japan.' Japanese Journal of Political Science, 'It is, in short, essential and provocative reading for all students of Japan.' Japanese Journal of Political Science, '… compelling insights into the role of individual rights in Japan, persuasively critiques prevailing models of the legal system and social conflict in Japan, and effectively highlights the similarities - as well as the differences - between Japan and other countries. As such, it should appeal to students of Japanese history and politics as well as legal studies. It is, in short, essential and provocative reading for all students of Japan.' Japanese Journal of Political Science, "Feldman convincingly demonstrates, through the use of the brain death and AIDS cases, that rights do matter in Japan. Tactics of rights assertion, broadly understood, are imployed not only in litigation but also as a means of appealing to public opinion, once the possibility of informal negotiation and settlement has become remote. The belief that Japan is a nation whose culture is based on duties not rights, Feldman shows, is timeworn and blinkered...his case studies effectively refute the common misconception that Japan is a nation in which concepts of rights are ignored and claims of rights invariably fall on stony ground. The Ritual of Rights in Japan merits a wide readership and a place on the shelf of every serious student of contemporary Japan." The Jrnl of Legal Medicine, 'The book reminds us of the significance of critical examination of cultural myths and assumptions, and the costs of isolating contemporary issues from history. Feldman also demonstrates that innovative scholarship comes from in-depth analysis of the previous literature, painstaking data collection and, above all, open-mindedness' Naoko Muramatsu, Social Science Japan Journal, 'The book reminds of the significance of critical examination of cultural myths and assumptions, and the costs of isolating contemporary issues from history.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!
