改革开放以来,在中国的日本近现代史研究领域,学者们对日本的政治史、外交史、经济史、文化史、中日关系史均给予了较多关注,并取得了丰硕的成果。相比之下,近现代日本社会史的研究略显不足。《日本近现代社会史》(世界知识出版社2010年12月出版)一书的出版则改变了这种状况。 Since the reform and opening up, in the field of Japanese modern history research in China, scholars have given more attention to Japan’s political history, diplomatic history, economic history, cultural history and the history of Sino-Japanese relations and have achieved fruitful results. In contrast, the study of social history in modern Japan is slightly less. The publication of Japan’s History of Modern and Contemporary Society (World Knowledge Press, December 2010) changed the situation.
