This book analyzes the means by which the Japanese government regulates business activity, principally through the use of competition or anti-monopoly laws. These laws operate both within Japan and, to a lesser extent, beyond its borders. The book also examines the legal aspects of industrial policy as well as the legal framework of foreign trade and investment in Japan.
