Polityka historyczna rządu Japonii a zmiany w podręcznikach szkolnych do historii. Aspekt krajowy i zagraniczny

Abstract

This dissertation, inspired by the frequent “textbook controversies” of Japan, aims to analyse domestic policies and politics of history of the Japanese Government between 1982-2022. It focuses on the influence of those politics on Japanese education and especially on history textbooks. Therefore the main research material is concentrated on textbooks for lower and upper secondary schools authorised by the Ministry of Education (MOE and later Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, hereafter MEXT) between the “neighbouring countries clause” issuance in 1982 and 2022 when the last researched history textbooks for upper secondary school were authorised. The dissertation also examines Japan's history policies and politics and how they were influenced by various actors in the East and Southeast Asia region.
