From the very beginning, the plant took Britain's EC/EU membership and tariff-free access to the single market as a token. A considerable amount of aid including component supplies was provided to attract Japanese investment and to prevent its transfer to the continent. The successful launch of Sunderland highlighted improved Anglo-Japanese relations and put an end to the Japan-EC/EU trade conflict. But the price was paid by Nissan's slump and fall, and by trade unions in both countries failing to keep counterchecks on management. Brexit and the fall of Carlos Ghosn were a double blow to Anglo-Japanese relations which are in a state of drift and need redefinition. 410 0$aNew Directions in East Asian History,$x2522-0209 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 606 $aRetail trade 606 $aModern History 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aEuropean Economic Integration 606 $aTrade and Retail 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEurope$xEconomic integration. 615 0$aRetail trade. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aEuropean Economic Integration. 615 24$aTrade and Retail. 676 $a741.67407474811 700 $aSuzuki$b Hitoshi$0921974 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863278703321 996 $aJapanese investment and British trade unionism$92068870 997 $aUNINA
