Description: Gender and Human Rights Politics in Japan : Global Norms and Domestic Networks, Hardcover by Chan-Tiberghien, Jennifer, ISBN 080475022X, ISBN-13 9780804750226, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US As shown by a number of new laws in the late 1990s, Japan is making remarkable strides toward gender equality and human rights for children. At the same time, there has been little movement on the issues of minority or migrant workers' rights. Chan-Tiberghien (education studies, women's studies and gender relations, Japanese research, U. of British Columbia) examines why, in an era of economic stagnation and continuous political crisis, Japan has chosen to support the growth of human rights for Japanese women and children while continuing to deny them to indigenous people, minority ethnic groups, and migrant workers. She finds that Japan has not been as much a study in bureaucracies, special interest groups, and party politics as it has become a part of the global context. In this change it is reconstructing its identity and interests, affirming certain global norms, realigning its human rights priorities, facing matters of its history, and rebuilding its political culture to keep abreast of the rest of the world.
