The once and future superpower

By Rajan Menon

Japan has risen from defeat and occupation over the past 50 years, its dazzling technology, huge banks, and trade surpluses emblematic of its triumph. But among East Asians, the growth of Japanese economic power and political influence since World War II generates decidedly mixed feelings. And Japan's failure-in contrast to Germany-to acknowledge and atone for its brutal imperial past only reinforces those feelings. http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/1997/jf97/jf97menon.html
