A sharp and incisive work of political and economic analysis, Japanese Imperialism Today: Co-prosperity in Greater East Asia presents a critical examination of Japan's post-war economic expansion across Asia and its striking parallels to the imperial ambitions of the 1930s and 40s. Jon Halliday and Gavan McCormack argue with conviction that Japan's rapid industrial growth and overseas investment constituted a new form of imperialism, cloaked in the language of mutual benefit and regional cooperation. The authors detail the mechanisms of Japanese corporate dominance, trade policy, and political influence throughout Southeast Asia, unmasking the structural inequalities underpinning these relationships. Written with academic rigour yet accessible to a general readership, the book challenges the prevailing post-war narrative of Japan as a peaceful trading nation, instead illustrating a pattern of economic subjugation that echoes its wartime ideology of a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
