Description: JAPAN IN THE WORLD SINCE 1800 ***** During the last 200 years, Japan has found itself precariously balanced between East and West, the developing economies of Asia and the "modern" worlds of Europe and the United States. This survey will examine the modern history of Japan in the context of its relations with the rest of the world, focusing on the "opening" of Japan; patterns of democracy; imperialism and war; international trade; and cultural globalization. Offered with additional work as HIST 422.
