Description was written before the event
Eight decades after defeat in World War II, Japan finds itself at a crossroads - caught between security pressures from China and the USA, and facing fundamental questions about its own social model. Japan has also elected its first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi.
Asger Røjle Christensen places these dilemmas in a historical and contemporary perspective in this lecture at Gentofte Hovedbibliotek.
