The Abe Experiment and the Future of Japan records a wide-ranging dialogue between two eminent Japanese scholars – Banno a political historian and Yamaguchi a political scientist – regarding Japan’s modern political history, with particular emphasis on what they perceive as disturbing parallels between the 1930s and the recent policy trajectory, in which relations with Japan’s immediate neighbours have seriously deteriorated.
