Volume 1 of the four-volume A Social History of Science and Technology in Contemporary Japan examines the occupation years from 1945 to 1952, when Japan's scientific and technological institutions underwent profound transformation under Allied rule. It explores how demilitarization, democratization, and sweeping institutional reforms reshaped the nation's scientific community, research system, higher education, and industrial infrastructure, laying the foundations for postwar reconstruction. The volume covers topics including the dismantling of wartime science and military research, investigations into the atomic bombings, the reorganization of universities and research institutions, the establishment of new scientific organizations, reforms in public health, telecommunications, and the patent system, and the emergence of democratic movements among scientists and engineers. Written by more than fifty leading Japanese historians of science and technology, this English edition makes a landmark work of Japanese scholarship available to an international audience for the first time. It is an essential resource for researchers and students of the history of science, Science and Technology Studies (STS), Japanese Studies, occupation studies, and postwar East Asian history.
