Asia in Japan's Embrace. Building a Regional Production Alliance.
Cambridge. Cambridge University Press. 1996. Stock ID #58899 This book is an incisive analysis of Japan's deepening economic presence in Asia. A challenge to neoclassical economists who argue that Japanese investment in Asia is based on 'comparative advantage' and is thus beneficial to all parties, it contends that such investment is based on the strategic deployment of technology. The authors emphasixe that Japan is not, as some have alleged, creating a 'yen bloc' in Asia. Instead they argue that Japanese business and government elites are working together to build an expanded - and potentially exclusive - production zone which is an extension of their domestic base."
