Iwasawa theory began in the late 1950s with a series of papers by Kenkichi Iwasawa on ideal class groups in the cyclotomic tower of number fields and their relation to $p$-adic $ L$-functions. The theory was later generalized by putting it in the context of elliptic curves and modular forms. The main motivation for writing this book, comprised of three volumes, was the need for a total perspective that includes the new trends of generalized Iwasawa theory. Another motivation is an update of the classical theory for class groups taking into account the changed point of view on Iwasawa theory. Volume 1: explains the theory of ideal class groups, including its algebraic aspect (the Iwasawa class number formula), its analytic aspect (Leopoldt?Kubota $L$-functions), and the Iwasawa main conjecture, which is a bridge between the algebraic and the analytic aspects. Volume 2: explains various aspects of the cyclotomic Iwasawa theory of $p$-adic Galois representations. Volume 3: presents additional aspects of the Iwasawa theory of $p$-adic Galois deformations.
The Routledge Handbook of Japanese Politics is an advanced level reference guide which surveys the current state of Japanese politics, featuring both traditional topics and cutting edge research. The volume is divided into five sections covering: domestic politics civil society social policy political economy and international relations/security The first four sections begin with an overview chapter that provides historical background information on the section’s overarching topic. The chapters that follow explore more specific topics in the sub-area. In the final section, historical background information is contained in the individual chapters which cover the diverse areas of international political economy, security and foreign policy. Offering a complete overview of the full spectrum of Japanese politics, the Handbook is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, policy analysts, graduate and undergraduate students studying this ever-evolving field.
