Abstract

This article compiles the main works of Prof. Takashi Inoguchi, especially those focused on cultural, politics and human dimensions of Asian societies. It seeks to review and value the theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions of his scientific work to approach and understand the Asian world. Inoguchi’s books develop the nature of Asian societies in comparison to the rest of the world, under the focus of quality of life. Likewise, he explores new approaches to the international relations based on the enormous empirical evidence of the signing of multilateral treaties and the result of what he calls a global quasi-legislative policy. In addition, these books include his knowledge on quality of life for the different nuances of Asian society. In most of these books, authors use Asian Barometer Survey, a powerful and versatile source of data on Asian societies.
