2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe contributors to this book, from the US and Japan, explore the main issues involved in the international trade, foreign direct investment, and macro/financial relations of the United States and Japan and provide guidance to policymakers for measures to help overcome Japan?s economic stagnation since the early 1990s. The book is divided into three parts.

Part II is focused on foreign direct investment (FDI), trade, and the behavior and structure of Japanese firms. Part III deals with macro/financial issues of current interest and importance in Japan. The analytical focus of the chapters is intended to enhance the understanding of the issues addressed and to provide some… [detailed...]

Japan`s Financial Crisis : Institutional Rigidity and Reluctant Change

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description At the beginning of the 1990s, a massive speculative asset bubble burst in Japan, leaving the nation`s banks with an enormous burden of nonperforming loans. Banking crises have become increasingly common across the globe, but what was distinctive about the Japanese case was the unusually long delay before the government intervened to aggressively address the bad debt problem. The postponed response by Japanese authorities to the nation`s banking crisis has had enormous political and economic consequences for Japan as well as for the rest of the world. This book helps us understand the nature of the Japanese government`s response while also providing important insights into why Japan seems unable to get its financial system back on track 13 years later. The book focuses on the role of policy networks in Japanese finance, showing with nuance and detail how Japan`s Finance Ministry was embedded within the political and financial worlds, how that structure was… [detailed...]

Japan`s Financial Crisis and Its Parallels to U.S. Experience (Special Reports (Institute for International Economics (U.S.)), 13.)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Japan is only one of many industrialized economies to suffer a financial crisis in the last fifteen years, but it has suffered the most from its crisis - as measured in lost output and investment opportunities, and in the direct costs of clean-up. Comparing the response of Japanese policy in the 1990s to that of U.S. monetary and financial policy to the American Savings and Loan Crisis of the late 1980s sheds light on the reasons for this outcome. This volume was created by bringing together several leading academics from the United States and Japan - plus former senior policymakers from both countries - to discuss the challenges to Japanese financial and monetary policy in the 1990s. The papers address in turn both the monetary and financial aspects of the crisis, and the discussants bring together broad themes across the two countries` experiences. As the papers in this Special Report demonstrate, while the Japanese government`s policy response to its banking crisis in the… [detailed...]

Japan`s Foreign Aid to Thailand and the Philippines

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the 1980s, Japan became a leading donor of bilateral foreign aid. In the 1990s, it has become the leading bilateral aid donor in the world. A great deal of attention has focused on the kind of aid policy Japan pursues and the impact of that aid both on foreign investment in Asia and Japan`s relations with other donor countries. Japan`s Foreign Aid to Thailand and the Philippines looks at the situation and asks a number of questions: What do recipients of Japanese aid get out of the increasing levels of funding that country is contributing? Are the types of aid recipients receive from Japan the types of aid they actually want? How do recipients respond to Japan as an aid donor, especially in terms of increasing or decreasing the level of aid they receive from Japan? This book examines these questions in the cases of Thailand and the Philippines, two of the largest recipients of Japanese aid in Asia. It examines their development priorities and assesses the fit between those… [detailed...]

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: This book looks at Japan`s foreign policy at the regional and global level from a power perspective. Reinhard Drifte argues that, although Japan still poses as a political pygmy, it is no longer an economic superpower. Instead, it increasingly translates its economic power into influence over the perceptions, intentions, options and material circumstances of other people. This new power posture has been referred to as `civilian power` but is no less effective for national interest than military power was in the past. [detailed...]

Japan`s Open Future: An Agenda for Global Citizenship (Anthem Politics and IR)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For many decades Japan enjoyed great success with its export-oriented economy and the outsourcing of its foreign policy to the United States under the US security umbrella. Its role in the world was simple, and times were good. But times have changed: With the end of the Cold War, a shrinking domestic population, global instabilities after 9-11, the financial crisis, and other seismic shifts, Japan now faces a more complicated world. In this groundbreaking and provocative discussion, three foreigners who have lived and worked in Japan – a Canadian, a Frenchman and a Spaniard – argue that Japan has much to gain by pursuing a more engaged, outward-looking, multilateral posture in its region and globally. While the country will continue to enjoy good relations with the West, the time has come for Japan to embrace its Asian heritage and future, as well as its own potential contribution to world affairs. A globally engaged, more open Japan, the authors argue, is win-win-win: good for… [detailed...]

Japan`s Policy Trap: Dollars, Deflation, and the Crisis of Japanese Finance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Until quite recently, the Japanese inspired a kind of puzzled awe. They had pulled themselves together from the ruin of war, built at breakneck speed a formidable array of export champions, and emerged as the world`s number-two economy and largest net creditor nation. And they did it by flouting every rule of economic orthodoxy. But today only the puzzlement remains?at Japan`s inability to arrest its economic decline, at its festering banking crisis, and at the dithering of its policymakers. Why can`t the Japanese government find the political will to fix the country`s problems? Japan`s Policy Trap offers a provocative new analysis of the country`s protracted economic stagnation. Japanese insider Akio Mikuni and long-term Japan resident R. Taggart Murphy contend that the country has landed in a policy trap that defies easy solution. The authors, who have together spent decades at the heart of Japanese finance, expose the deep-rooted political arrangements that have… [detailed...]

Japan`s Quiet Transformation: Social Change and Civil Society in the 21st Century

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the 1990s the phenomenal growth of the Japanese economy ground to a shuddering halt and the country was subsequently crippled by enormous and ongoing political, economic and social problems. This accessible and engaging textbook for all students of Japanese studies is beautifully illustrated with striking images of turmoil and change in contemporary Japan. Kingston examines the transformation of Japan, evaluating the social, economic and political challenges it has faced, as well as prospects for the future addressing what is often missed by media`s relentless pessimistic coverage. Controversially, it argues that the Japan that emerges from these manifold problems may, in fact, be stronger than before. Areas covered include: * The power of bureaucracy * Information disclosure * Judicial Reform * Infrastructure * Health, BSE and the struggle for human rights * Nationalism and `Japaneseness` * Social transformation: family, gender, ageing, and… [detailed...]

Japan`s Software Factories: A Challenge to U.S. Management

Publisher: —
Description: Though Japan has successfully competed with U.S. companies in the manufacturing and marketing of computer hardware, it has been less successful in developing computer programs. This book contains the first detailed analysis of how Japanese firms have tried to redress this imbalance by applying their skills in engineering and production management to software development. Cusumano focuses on the creation of `software factories` in which large numbers of people are engaged in developing software in cooperative ways--i.e. individual programs are not developed in isolation but rather utilize portions of other programs already developed whenever possible, and then yield usable portions for other programs being written. Devoting chapters to working methods at System Developing Corp., Hitachi, Toshiba, NEC, and Fujitsu, and including a comparison of Japanese and U.S. software factories, Cusumano`s book will be important reading for all people involved in software and computer technology, as… [detailed...]

Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S.

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Contemporary Japanese pop culture such as anime and manga (Japanese animation and comic books) is Asia`s equivalent of the Harry Potter phenomenon--an overseas export that has taken America by storm. While Hollywood struggles to fill seats, Japanese anime releases are increasingly outpacing American movies in number and, more importantly, in the devotion they inspire in their fans. But just as Harry Potter is both `universal` and very English, anime is also deeply Japanese, making its popularity in the United States totally unexpected. Japanamerica is the first book that directly addresses the American experience with the Japanese pop phenomenon, covering everything from Hayao Miyazaki`s epics, the burgeoning world of hentai, or violent pornographic anime, and Puffy Amiyumi, whose exploits are broadcast daily on the Cartoon Network to literary novelist Haruki Murakami, and more. With insights from the artists, critics, readers and fans from both nations, this book is… [detailed...]

Japanese Army Air Force Aces 1937-1945

1999 y.
Publisher: Del Rey
Description: Little has been published in English on the Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF), let alone its most successful fighter pilots - no less than 150 of them achieved ace status during eight years of near-constant war, and they are all listed in this volume. From the arid plains of the Mongolian border region to the lush jungles of New Guinea, the JAAF was more than a match for the many opponents it fought against for control of the skies. Indeed, even when the mighty Allied war machine proved almost overwhelming from early 1944 onwards, the elite fighter pilots of the various sentais within the JAAF fought on with near-fanatical loyalty in defence of the Home Islands. Pilots of the calibre of Hiromichi Shinohara, Yasuhiko Kuroe and Satoshi Anabuki (all of whom scored over 50 kills apiece) are little known outside Japan, but this volume details their exploits in full.

More recently they have been extended by the purchase of major pieces including exciting contemporary works by leading artists. The result is an unrivalled collection of Japan`s achievements in art and design, with particular emphasis on ceramics, lacquer, textiles, prints and metalwork of the last four centuries.
