De bijzondere economische groei van Japan vanaf 1850 verdient onze aandacht. Japan is momenteel de 3de grootste economie ter wereld. Japan was zeer lang het enige niet-Westerse land dat als een geïndustrialiseerde mogendheid aangemerkt kon worden, met een dynamische en welvarende economie. Het is fascinerend hoe Japan al zo vroeg een grote internationale speler is geworden. In zijn collegereeks analyseert Peer Vries hoe deze opkomst van Japan verklaard kan worden en probeert hij de verbindingen tussen de economische, politieke en militaire ontwikkelingen te duiden.
