Abstract

ROSS ORELLANA, César David. Rise and Fall of Japan in Chile, 1897-1943. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2013, n.43, pp.156-179. ISSN 0121-5167.

The theoretical-methodological approach of this work is the History of International Relations, focused in determining the keys to continuity and change in a specific historical process. The article concludes that the academic debate surrounding Japanese-Latin America and Caribbean relations and Japanese-Chile relations in particular has generated global interpretations based on valid generalizations to the world stage and to historical patterns arising from the political and international action by hegemonic powers. Such an approach is not equally true of relations between two countries whose history, located at the edges of the great events of that time, were connected but independent of these phenomena.

Keywords : Commerce; Immigration; World War II Japan; Chile.
