The apparently close relationship between education and national strength in Japan has long captured the envy and attention of the world. But is Japan's educational system an instrument of economic nationalism, as many outsiders imply? Perhaps Japan's education is linked with an "economic nationalism" in some respects, but today, the signs of consciousness of education as a state economic resource in Japan are historically rooted, socially diffuse, subtle and often silent.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The apparently close relationship between education and national strength in Japan has long captured the envy and attention of the world. But is Japan's educational system an instrument of economic nationalism, as many outsiders imply? Perhaps Japan's education is linked with an "economic nationalism" in some respects, but today, the signs of consciousness of education as a state economic resource in Japan are historically rooted, socially diffuse, subtle and often silent.
520 $a The intention of this thesis is to gain an understanding of the Japanese precedent of what has become a newly relevant issue in the United States and other advanced societies: merging the goals of education with the discourse of state economic security, abbreviated as "education economicus"--an educational system that maximizes utility as in the imagery of homo economicus (economic man). However, education has a profound impact on personal, social and national identity: these issues should be questioned in tandem with making schools into defensive armaments of economic nationalisms.
520 $a This thesis presents political images and ideas, namely, those that support economic nationalism, that are made intelligible to ordinary citizens. It discusses how such ideas are "refracted" in various social media, including policy documents, mass media, popular culture and personal discourse. After reviewing the construction of educational knowledge from the prewar period of empire-building to the "economic superpower" and proposed new "lifestyle superpower," I focus on three areas of conflict. First, Japanese people have grown accustomed to nonformal educational practices, such as companies that market a convenient numerical evaluation (hensachi). Many people are reluctant to give up their "empowerment" gained from the evaluation which the government now wants to abolish. Second, the political economy that supports and is supported by education continues to exacerbate gender inequalities such as those that produce the phenomenon of "education mamas." The third issue demonstrates how the legacy of bureaucratic superiority, diffused at the local level, maintains power over students with its kosoku, school regulations, that are often enforced to militaristic precision. By highlighting one individual's struggle against school regulations, this chapter also acknowledges the power of human agency in social discourse.
