Abstract
If modern Japan is about a process of ideology making as Carol Gluck suggests, the comment by Andrew Barshay perhaps best sums up the struggle of civil society in Japan, to strive from state-subject to state-citizen relations. If a tennosei ideorogii, disseminated by an elaborate, but loose network of ideologues and institutions, represented both “internal psychological constriction and external political submissiveness,”1 the role of Japanese civil society, I argue, lies precisely in undoing that ideology by constructing new values as well as institutions for the expressions of citizenship.KeywordsCivil SocietyFree Trade AgreementFood SovereigntyCivil Society ActorGlobal Civil SocietyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
