This biography attempts to set the record straight about Itō's thought and vision for Japan's modernisation based on research in primary sources. It outlines Itō's life: the son of a poor farmer, he showed exceptional talent as a boy and was sent to study in Europe and the United States. He returned home convinced that Western civilisation was the only viable path for Japan. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Ito became a powerful intellectual and political force behind reforms of Japanese laws and institutions aimed to shape a modern government based on informed leadership and a knowledeable populace. Among his many achievements were the establishment of Japan's first constitution--the Meiji Constitution of 1889, and the founding in 1900 of a new type of constitutional party, the Rikken Seiyukai (Friends of Constitutional Government), which, reformulated after 1945, became the Liberal Democratic Party that has dominated Japanese politics in the postwar period. Concerning Itō's role as Japanese Resident-General in Korea from 1905, the author argues that Ito's aim, not understood by either the Japanese home government or Koreans themselves, was not to colonize Korea. He was determined to modernise Korea and consolidate further constitutional reforms in Japan. This aim was not shared by others, and Itō resigned in 1909. He was assassinated the same year in Manchuria by a Korean nationalist. The Japanese language edition of this book is a bestseller in Japan, and it received the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities, one of Japan's most prestigious publishing awards"-- Itō, Hirobumi 1841-1909 (DE-588)11909648X gnd Itō, Hirobumi 1841-1909 Itō, Hirobumi 1841-1909 Political and social views Constitutional history Japan Prime ministers Japan Biography Statesmen Japan Biography Japan Politics and government 1868-1912 Biografie gnd-content Takechi Manabu Übersetzer trl Nichibunken monograph series no. 16 (RERO)R00453836 Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia 94 (RERO)R00302310 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED 09.11.2016 nebis DS ng SzZuIDS BS/BE wa SzZuIDS BS/BE po SzZuIDS BS/BE RERO RE61046 RE61046 RE610460011 312.8 KAZ BFLA 285288 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH eh 78745 NELA1001610 / k/2016 IDSBB 100 1- Takii Kazuhiro 1967- (DE-588)118130900 Verfasser aut IDSBB 240 1- Itō Hirobumi: Chi no seijika IDSBB 490 0- Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia 94 94 (IDSBB)002186997 269567348 IDSBB 700 1- Takechi Manabu Übersetzer trl RERO 100 1- Takii Kazuhiro 1967- (IDREF)114949298 cre RERO 490 1- Nichibunken monograph series no. 16 RERO 490 1- Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia 94 RERO 700 1- Murray Patricia (IDREF)164923438 RERO 700 1- Takechi Manabu (IDREF)034105190 RERO 830 -- Nichibunken monograph series no. 16 (RERO)R00453836 RERO 830 -- Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia 94 (RERO)R00302310 IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006641847/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 312522029
