In Victorian Hong Kong, a race is on to find a young gifted Asian woman, Amaya. As two underground spy organizations compete to find her, Amaya becomes involved in the seedy underground of the opium trade. The illicit drug seems to be the only cure for her realistic dreams and terrorizing nightmares. But Amaya doesn't realize that while she sleeps, what she sees are visions of the future and that her unborn child will share her visionary gifts. A Society operative Jacob Wadsfellow tries to bring Amaya back to the safety of the Society and his collection of mystical dolls. But a charming double agent, Brother Evan woos her with both his affections and the opium. The Kicho is a Society Series short story about a visionary in peril, how addiction can affect so many lives, and how the hope of an unborn child and her doll will save the future.

The Origin of Japan’s Protectionist Agricultural Policy
Author: Hironori Sasada
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000991660
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This book explores the origins of Japan’s protectionist agricultural policies through an in-depth historical analysis of Japanese agricultural policies between the Meiji period and the end of WWII. It offers a constructivist account for the rise of protectionism, examining the policies of prewar agricultural bureaucrats who played critical roles in the policymaking process. It argues that protectionist agricultural policy in Japan was not originally generated by the "iron triangle" (a political alliance consisted of the Liberal Democratic Party, the Agricultural Ministry, and farmers’ organizations) but by a prewar agricultural bureaucrats’ policy idea called shōnō ron (thoughts on small-scale farming). Ultimately the book reveals how, contrary to suggestions of previous scholarship, the protective measures based on shōnō ron forged the necessary conditions for the emergence of "iron triangle" after the end of WWII, which in turn institutionalized Japan’s subsequent protectionist agricultural regime. Examining such topics as the origin of protectionist policy, the formation of actors’ preferences, and the broader effects of agricultural policy ideas, this book will be a valuable reading for scholars and students of Japanese politics, agricultural policy, and political economy.
