This article presents a review of book based on papers presented at a symposium on the concept of "public interest" in China and Japan. The twelve articles that make up the work are divided into three sections: the history of public interest, focusing on China, Japan, East Asia, and Great Britain as a contrast; changes in public interest theory in Japan, 1700 to the present; and the concept of public interest in China, focusing on social issues.
