Next Previous Up Top Homework
- Reprogramming Japan is the title of a book by Marie Anchordoguy, a
professor of regional studies who began her career by publishing her
doctoral thesis as Computers, Inc, a study of the Japanese attack
on the IBM-dominated computer industry from 1960 until 1985.
- Anchordoguy embeds her study in a line of studies of Japan
represented by the work of Chalmers Johnson, including MITI and the
Japanese Miracle.
- In Reprogramming Japan, Anchordoguy comes to the conclusion that
the usual concept of the developmental state needs to be modified to
account for social and environmental structures, and that the
difficulties Japan encountered after 1990 were closely related to
the post-WWII "miracle".
