Date: Wednesday 15 January 2014
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: New Theatre, East Building
Speaker: David Pilling
Chair: Professor Janet Hunter
In the 1980s, Japan was supposedly about to take over the world. Since the burst of the bubble in 1990, it has all but slipped from the radar as attention has switched to China. However, its problems, though real, are exaggerated and misunderstood, and Japan remains a key player in global economy and in global geopolitics.
David Pilling is the Asia editor of the Financial Times. From 2002-2008, he was the FT's Tokyo bureau chief. His book, Bending Adversity, Japan and the Art of Survival is published by Penguin in January 2014.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For any queries email arc@lse.ac.uk or call 020 7955 7388.
