Professor Kasza's scholarship analyzes Japanese
politics from a broad comparative perspective. His interests
include state-society relations, political institutions, war
and politics, fascism, and political economy. He is the author
of The State and the Mass Media in Japan, 1918-1945, (1988),
and The Conscription Society (1995). The latter book is an
eight-country study of official mass organizations, including
Chinese trade unions, Peru's Industrial Communities, the
Hitler Youth, Egypt's Arab Socialist Union, and Japan's
wartime bodies for women and workers. Professor Kasza is
currently researching a book to be titled Japan in Comparative
Politics. In addition to five years of research in Japan, he
has done field work in Latin America. He teaches courses on
Japanese Politics, Business & Public Policy in Japan, and
War in Comparative Politics, as well as more general courses
in the comparative field.
