ESUJ Lecture (in English)

The Third Japan
Lecture by Mr. Sam Jameson
Former Tokyo Bureau Chief of the Los Angeles Times

Dramatic changes in Japan are observed by a veteran American journalist who has lived here for more than 40 years. Sam Jameson's "First Japan" started with the opening of the country in the 19th century and continued with its pursuit of becoming a rich and strong country up to its defeat in World War II. A Second Japan emerged from the ruins and achieved miraculous economic growth, which was crushed by the collapse of the bubble economy. The Third Japan opened with "a lost decade", and the country is still struggling to find the right way to go. But the Third Japan, like the First and Second Japans, will no doubt once more be a period of major change. Mr. Jameson explores Japan's prospects for the future from the wide perspective of his journalistic viewpoint.
