Karel van Wolferen is a Dutch journalist, a long time resident of Japan and a professor emeritus at the University of Amsterdam.
Career
Karel van Wolferen "first arrived in Japan in 1962, and taught English among other places at Waseda University. He made documentary films, co-authored language books, and traveled extensively in other parts of Asia. Commissioned to do a study on student radicalism in the West, he distilled the results in “Student Revolutionaries of the Sixties” in 1969, reviewed by the International Herald Tribune as “the best introduction to the subject”."[1]
Activities
He was a panelist for the discussion about Japan: Political Changes at the 1990 Bilderberg.[2]
His book The Enigma of Japanese Power - ISBN 978-0394577968 - first published in 1989, has sold well over 650,000 copies in eleven languages, and he has authored fifteen subsequent books on Japanese politics and society. As a foreign correspondent for NRC Handelsblad he received the highest Dutch award for journalism, and over the years his articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, The National Interest, Le Monde and numerous other newspapers and magazines.
Van Wolferen termed the "War on Terror" "the biggest lie of the 21st century".[3]
