Understanding Japanese Trade Policy: A Political Economy Perspective

  • Chapter
The Political Economy of Japanese Trade Policy

Part of the book series: Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific ((CSAP))

Abstract

The purpose of this book is to identify the main political and economic forces that have helped to shape Japanese trade policy in the postwar period. The individual chapters focus on different aspects of this story although they share a broad political economy perspective and common underlying themes such as factors influencing Japanese trade protectionism and liberalisation, and the timing and extent of Japan’s accession to bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements.
