First sentence: The present volume's theme is where Japan lies in relation to other political economies both in Asia and in Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand etc: loosely referred to as the West, used here in italics because of its imprecise lumping together of e.g. the member states of the EU, whose political economies show considerable differences, and because the term has frequently been used in Japan to set up dichotomies of doubtful intellectual rigour for national ideological reasons, as in the nihonjinron (Dale 1986:38).
