TL;DR: In this paper, the use of accounting in the public sector, and the apparent paradoxes found by Humphrey and Scapens, using the NHS as a case example, are discussed.
Abstract: Concurs with much of Humphrey and Scapens’ opinions about promoting eclecticism in theory, but takes issues with points made about the nature of theory. Asserts that they fail to build on the “conditions of possibility” inherent in practice by their rejection of realism. Looks at the use of accounting in the public sector, and the apparent paradoxes found by Humphrey and Scapens, using the NHS as a case example. Concludes that liberating accounting should look beyond the eclectic use of social theories towards more practical interventions.

TL;DR: The authors argued that Japanese public opinion has never embraced pacifism and contained significant elements of realism, in that it has acknowledged the utility of military power for defending national territory and independence, but has seen offensive military power as ineffective for promoting other goals -such as suppressing terrorist networks and WMD proliferation, or promoting democracy overseas.
Abstract: In this book, Paul Midford engages claims that since 9/11 Japanese public opinion has turned sharply away from pacifism and toward supporting normalization of Japan's military power, in which Japanese troops would fight alongside their American counterparts in various conflicts worldwide. Midford argues that Japanese public opinion has never embraced pacifism. It has, instead, contained significant elements of realism, in that it has acknowledged the utility of military power for defending national territory and independence, but has seen offensive military power as ineffective for promoting other goals - such as suppressing terrorist networks and WMD proliferation, or promoting democracy overseas. Over several decades, these realist attitudes have become more evident as the Japanese state has gradually convinced its public that Tokyo and its military can be trusted with territorial defense, and even with noncombat humanitarian and reconstruction missions overseas. On this basis, says Midford, we should re-conceptualize Japanese public opinion as attitudinal defensive realism.
