SUMMING UP

Japan’s cultural, ethnic, and historic characteristics have allowed cognitive and emotive processes in the identification mechanism to channel nationalistic sentiments in a particularly aggressive way. The extraordinary power of Japanese nationalism has been expressed by the willingness of the average Japanese to embrace societal militarization, an aggressive expansionist doctrine, and fanaticism in war (Tsurumi 1986). Self-sacrifice in war — such as kamakazi behavior — is a particularly powerful testimony to aggressive nationalism. Such actions are cultural manifestations of an inclusive fitness logic of nationalism. Moreover, scholars have observed that remnants of Japan’s prewar nationalism have survived the devastating humiliation and defeat of the World War II and are on the rise again today (Taylor 1983).
