Introduction
Kiri Paramore works on the relationship between politics and religion in East Asian history, with a focus on Japan. He is the author of Ideology and Christianity in Japan (Routledge, 2009) and has published in The Japanese Journal of Religious Studies and The Journal of Japanese Intellectual History on issues relating to Confucianism and the role of religion in Japanese political history. Current research projects include:
- Sacred Nation Secular State: a team-research project looking at the role of secularism and civil society in the creation of state religious practice in modern Japan and its East Asian empire.
- Confucianism in Japan: a monograph which will be the first English language book to survey the development and political role of Confucianism over 1400 years of Japanese history.
- Feudalism and Modernity in East Asia: a series of articles exploring the links between feudal and modern political structures and systems.
