Example text

As far as certain other observers were concerned, Japan’s new international position was seen more darkly as a negative challenge: this time, its economic prowess appeared as a deliberate strategy of mercantilist ‘free riding’ on the back of the established economic, political and security order maintained by the other major industrialized powers, especially the US (Prestowitz 1988). In other cases, the Japanese state and its transnational corporations (TNCs) were viewed as essentially devoid of any clear policy direction as international actors.

Thus, it would seem that at the start of the new millennium Japan has returned to a central, and possibly dominant, position within the East Asia region as a political, economic and security player and organizer. iii Europe In contrast to the situation with the US and East Asia, Japan’s relations with Europe have elicited little attention from either political or academic observers for most of the postwar era. Europe as understood here refers primarily to the twenty-five member states of the European Union (EU) (namely, in order of accession, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, The Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, the UK, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Finland, Sweden, and from 2004, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia).

Japan’s meteoric economic ascendance was declared a ‘miracle’ in 1982 (Johnson 1986); in 1986, Vogel even went so far as to declare that the ‘American Century’ and age of Pax Americana could be replaced in the next century by an era of Pax Nipponica (Vogel 1986); and, by the 1990s, Japan was talked of routinely as an economic ‘superpower’ (Horsley and Buckley 1990; Garby and Brown Bullock 1994). ii Metaphors of challenge These metaphors and polemics of change were inevitably accompanied by a cacophony of criticism which drew attention to the complex nature of the economic challenge posed by Japan.
