Prime Ministers’ Discourse in Japan’s Reforms since the 1980s: Traditionalization of Modernity rather than Confucianism

Abstract

As researchers into the family sociology and political history of Japan, we feel uneasy whenever we come across a description that lumps together the welfare states of East Asia as ‘Confucian welfare states’. It is a common understanding in Japanese academia that the penetration of Confucianism into traditional Japanese society was shallow, compared with other countries of East Asia. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
