Statement: While military defeat in World War Two signaled the end of formal empire in Asia, as it rebuilt, Japan reestablished many of the economic relationships that had constituted the basis of the colonial empire prior to 1945. Louise Young’s IAS project examines regional geo-politics and the impact of Japanese power in Asia across the twentieth century.
