This book presents a comprehensive overview of EU-Japan relations from 1970 to the present. It charts developments over the period, analyses key specific areas of importance to the relationship, and concludes by assessing how the relationship is likely to develop going forward. Throughout, the book discusses the factors on both sides which motivate the relationship, including Japan’s concern to secure markets for its advanced industrial products, and the factors motivating current negotiations for a deeper and more comprehensive economic and cooperative partnership.
The papers of this volume were presented at an international conference on "The Political Economy of Trade Conflicts" in Tokyo in December 1993. The conference brought together practitioners with a long experience in trade negotiations, economists, and political scientists from Europe, Japan, and the US to exchange experiences, views, and arguments on various trade policy issues. The papers cover general aspects of EU trade policy, Japanese trade policy, EU-Japan and US-Japan relations; they address policy issues in specific conflict prone industries such as agriculture and high technology; they analyze the effects of antidumping policies in high technology industries and investigate the applicability of competition rules to international trade.

The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Japan presents a synthesized, interdisciplinary study of contemporary Japan based on up-to-date theoretical models designed to provide readers with a comprehensive and full understanding of the dynamics of contemporary Japan. In order to achieve this, the Handbook is organized into two parts. Part I, ‘Foundations’, clarifies the state of contemporary Japan topic by topic by referring to the latest theoretical developments in the relevant disciplinary fields of politics, international relations, economy, society, culture and the personal. Part II, ‘Issues’, then offers a series of concrete analyses building upon the theoretical discussions introduced in Part I to help undergraduate and postgraduate students learn how to conduct independent analysis. Locating Japan in a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, this Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Japanese studies, Asian studies and global studies.
From the commercial and industrial transformation of Osaka in the late 19th century to the role and status of Japanese multinationals in Europe: these two themes represent both the time-span and the breadth of this volume.
In light of the deflationary trends following the 2008/2009 financial crisis, as well as the return of inflation triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, this book offers insights into price stability issues in various East Asian countries. Leading scholars from the fields of economics and law as well as central bank practitioners present case studies on Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. The contributors address topics such as quantitative monetary easing, the role of global and domestic shocks on inflation dynamics, and other monetary policy issues. In doing so, the book goes into detail about the individual forces and effects of deflation and inflation and compares the Asian experience with that of the Eurozone.
"Barbara Dluhosch identifies and analyses the main pillars of the new economic geography. She then presents an essentially new approach focusing on the decline of communication costs, and introduces cost competition and technological choice, which have largely been neglected. The policy implications of this are critically evaluated by drawing on experiences of European economic integration."--BOOK JACKET.

The companies are divided into different industries such as the automotive industry, entertainment or aviation industries.The cases can be used in business and international management classes, but can also be read to learn about modern crisis management strategies.
This volume is the first detailed study of the emergence of regular and frequent heads of government meetings (summits), covering the period from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. Summit meetings of heads of government have become 'banal' in today's world. Yet they are a relatively recent practice that took off only in the mid-1970s. The aim of the book is to explore the origins of this new feature of global governance in its historical context. Why did heads of Western governments decide to regularly meet up in the European Council and the G7? What were they aiming at? How were these meetings run and what consequences did they have? How did other actors of international relations – states...
Das vorliegende Jahrbuch widmet sich dem Schwerpunktthema "Japan als Fallbeispiel in den Wissenschaften", mit dem am DIJ vor einigen Jahren eine neue Arbeitsphase eingeleitet wurde. Es sollte in besonderer Weise den Ort des DIJ auf dem Schnittpunkt zwischen area studies und den systematischen Wissenschaften beleuchten und zur Beantwortung der Frage beitragen, worin der spezifische Erkenntniswert der japanbezogenen Forschung für die Wissenschaft im allgemeinen liegen könnte.
