Japan's Place in the Cultural Debates of Globalization
Öz
When it is considered that Japan is homogenized as political and especially economical in the debates of homogenization and heterogenization of globalization, it is important to determine where Japan stands in the cultural dimension of globalization. Researchers tend to choose one of the cultural theories –cultural differentialism, cultural hybridization, and cultural convergence - that are often used to answer the research question. In this study, three approaches in the cultural debates of globalization have been analyzed to specify Japan's place in these debates. Rather than the existence of a single approach that is appropriate to Japan, these three seem to have a place in Japan. While making these discoveries, the history of Japan was examined in the light of the theories that existed in the cultural debates. Following the discovering of these examples in the history of Japan, examples from today's world were reached through the analysis of online documents. As a result, Japan can find its place in all of the cultural debates of globalization with examples that given both history and present.
