About the Authors

This book is an incisive analysis of Japan's deepening economic presence in Asia. The authors argue that Japanese business and government elites are working together to build an expanded--and potentially exclusive--production zone. They show how a complex web of production networks develop and that such strategic control of technology is a unique model of globalization. Asia in Japan's Embrace is highly accessible, up to date, comprehensive and controversial, outlining the policy implications of the Japan-Asia alliance and its impact on global trade.
- Written in an engaging, accessible style, including interviews and anecdotal evidence
- Offers challenge to neo-classical economic theory
- Recommends ways in which damaging 'trade wars' between Japan and the West can be avoided
