| description | This paper will deal with the process of modernization of two emerging Asian powers,
namely Japan and Turkey, with particular reference to important elements of Japanese and
Turkish pursuits of modernization at the expense of growing Western penetration into their
countries. This will specifically deals with the Meiji Restoration and Tanzimat Reforms where
process of modernization has taken place. Furthermore, there will be a discussion on the efforts
of Turkish statesmen and Japanese statesmen in their attempts to modernize several aspects of
vital institutions in Turkey and Japan as well as issues concerning the modernization
encountered by the Japanese statesmen and Turkish counterparts in their countries. Sources
for this analysis will be taken from studies of both Western writers and inside writers on
modernization in Japan and Turkey. The ability of Japanese and Turkish statesmen to adopt
and adapt foreign practices which infused with local circumstances suggest that they are
capable of modernizing their respective countries by their own rights. |
