Extract

Japan's Dual Civil Society: Members Without Advocates. By Robert Pekkanen. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2006. 280p. $65.00 cloth, $24.95 paper.

How does a state regulate or promote civil society? Does a non-Western, industrialized state play a different role in this regard than that of advanced industrialized states in the West? How does an unconventional form of civil society affect polity? Robert Pekkanen's book touches on these and other questions of great interest to the field of comparative politics.
