Volume 2 of the four-volume A Social History of Science and Technology in Contemporary Japan examines the critical years from 1952 to 1959, when Japan sought to rebuild its scientific and technological capabilities following the end of the Allied Occupation. It explores how government, universities, industry, and the scientific community worked together to establish a new national system of research and innovation, laying the foundations for the country's rapid economic growth.
The volume examines the revival of nuclear, aviation, and space research; the development of government and corporate R&D systems; the modernization of key industries, including steel, shipbuilding, automobiles, electronics, and pharmaceuticals; and the ways technological innovation transformed everyday life. Written by more than fifty leading Japanese historians of science and technology, this English edition makes a landmark work of Japanese scholarship available to an international audience for the first time. It is an essential resource for researchers and students of the history of science, Science and Technology Studies (STS), Japanese Studies, and postwar East Asian history.
