In Regionalism and Rivalry, leading economists and political scientists address this concern by looking at three central questions: Is Japan forming a trading bloc in Pacific Asia? Does Japan use foreign direct investment in Southeast Asia to achieve national goals? Does Japan possess the leadership qualities necessary for a nation assuming greater political responsibility in international affairs? The authors contend that although intraregional trade in East Asia is growing rapidly, a trade bloc is not necessarily forming. They show that the trade increase can be explained entirely by factors independent of discriminatory trading arrangements, such as the rapid growth of East Asian economies. Other chapters look in detail at cases of Japanese direct investment in Southeast Asia and find little evidence of attempts by Japan to use the power of its multinational corporations for political purposes. A third group of papers attempt to gauge Japan's leadership characteristics. They focus on Japan's "technology ideology," its contributions to international public goods, international monetary cooperation, and economic liberalization in East Asia. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aInvestments, Japanese$zEast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aEast Asia$xEconomic integration$vCongresses 607 $aEast Asia$xForeign economic relations$zJapan$vCongresses 607 $aEast Asia$xForeign economic relations$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aJapan$xForeign economic relations$zEast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aJapan$xForeign economic relations$zSoutheast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xForeign economic relations$zJapan$vCongresses 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xForeign economic relations$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zEast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zSoutheast Asia$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInvestments, Japanese 676 $a337.52073 701 $aFrankel$b Jeffrey A$0118986 701 $aKahler$b Miles$f1949-$0257299 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450938003321 996 $aRegionalism and rivalry$92204318 997 $aUNINA
