Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy, 2001, vol. 6, issue 1, 22-46

Abstract: This article examines antidumping policy and politics in Japan. on detailed analysis of the institutional system regarding antidumping and the filed dumping cases, I explore how evolving trade policy preferences of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) have antidumping policy and politics, and what has altered MITI policy In the 1980s, MITI bureaucrats sought to settle dumping issues by encouraging the industries concerned to hold inter-industry meetings and pursuing bilateral voluntary export restraints. As Japan has accumulated trade disputes with developed countries, MITI officials have over time a strict application of the antidumping legislation on the basis of the principles embodied in the international trading system.
