Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Japanese geopolitics of the imperialistic era has been severely criticized in post-war Japan. Many intellectuals were closely linked to such questionable geopolitics. From the early part of the 1930s, some intellectuals began to refashion their negative posture and geopolitical thought came to affect policy-making. From the latter half of the 1930s, geopolitics was linked to a traditional concept regarding land. As far as geographers were concerned, their lending of countenance to geopolitics was a critique of contemporary mainstream geography.
