• Analyzes how risk has increased in Japan, undermining the sense of security and causing greater disparities in society
• Assesses Japan’s record on the environment, the consequences of neo-liberal reforms, immigration policies, the aging society, the US alliance, the Imperial family, and the ‘yakuza’ criminal gangs
