The Japanese government is becoming less involved in shaping industrial policy--but what does this imply for the openness of Japanese markets to foreign competition? In an extensive study of 'post-development' Japan, Ulrike Schaede argues that, contrary to what many have suggested, the reduced role of government regulation may not result in more open markets. Instead, as has happened throughout Japanese history, deregulation and the recession of the 1990s have once again led Japanese trade associations to assume important regulatory functions of their own.

As Japan moves from a "catch-up" strategy to a post-developmental stage, it is changing its actions and reactions both in terms of international political economy and domestic policy issues. The current changes in Japan can best be understood as following a path toward "permeable insulation."

Between 2002 and 2008, Japan's economy saw constant expansion, a record among the world's advanced economies and Japan's longest period of economic growth since World War II.

Der Finanzplatz Tokyo ist neben New York und London zum dritten groBen Finanzzentrum der Welt herangewachsen. Bedingt durch den welt weiten Trend zur securitization -- der Verbriefung des Geldgeschaftes - ruckt dabei der Kapitalmarkt zusehends in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses.
