My main point in examining this monograph was to get some insight into the roots of post-war Japanese politics and economic policy but before that one is going to learn rather more about the higher-level office politics of the Japanese empire than one might have wanted. It's also late in the book until Mimura alludes to the criminality that the Japanese government descended into in the course of trying to redeem its play for a self-contained empire on the Asian mainland, which the government technocrats were enthusiastic supporters of due to the prospects for enhanced authority that it held out for them vis-a-vis the traditional business and bureaucratic centers of power; these aspirant high-level economic managers were the real enthusiasts of fascism in Japanese society. While one's eyes might glaze over at all the hair-splitting between the various factions involved this book is still significant for detailing the milieu that Kishi Nobusuke, founder of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, and erstwhile war criminal, emerged from.

Japan's invasion of Manchuria in September of 1931 initiated a new phase of brutal occupation and warfare in Asia and the Pacific. It forwarded the project of remaking the Japanese state along technocratic and fascistic lines and creating a self-sufficient Asian bloc centered on Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo. In Planning for Empire, Janis Mimura traces the origins and evolution of this new order and the ideas and policies of its chief architects, the reform bureaucrats. The reform bureaucrats pursued a radical, authoritarian vision of modern Japan in which public and private spheres were fused, ownership and control of capital were separated, and society was ruled by technocrats.Mimura shifts our attention away from reactionary young officers to state planners-reform bureaucrats, total war officers, new zaibatsu leaders, economists, political scientists, engineers, and labor party leaders. She shows how empire building and war mobilization raised the stature and influence of these middle-class professionals by calling forth new government planning agencies, research bureaus, and think tanks to draft Five Year industrial plans, rationalize industry, mobilize the masses, streamline the bureaucracy, and manage big business. Deftly examining the political battles and compromises of Japanese technocrats in their bid for political power and Asian hegemony, Planning for Empire offers a new perspective on Japanese fascism by revealing its modern roots in the close interaction of technology and right-wing ideology.
