 How Does US Educational Experience Shape the Everyday Work Environment of Japanese Legal Professionals?Tim Reiffenstein Chapter 9 in Spaces of International Economy and Management, 2012, pp 155-175 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Several years ago, Henry Yeung (2007) wrote an editorial that challenged economic geographers to remake their discipline through research on East Asia. In comparison to the ‘theoretical saturation’ of Anglo-American and European perspectives that have long dominated the agenda in economic geography, Yeung presented East Asia as an overlooked emerging region, both in terms of empirical studies and in its potential for theoretical advancement. He notably illustrated his argument by observing the relative absence of scholarship on Japan by economic geographers over the last 30 years, a period characterized by Japan’s remarkable arc from ascendant economic superpower to stagnant giant. In the few years since Yeung’s editorial was published, it is apparent that East Asia is very much moving towards mainstream disciplinary significance. The same cannot be said of Japan, which if anything has dropped further from view.
