East Asian Policy (EAP), 2025, vol. 17, issue 01, 23-37

Abstract: Amid a climate of hyper-globalisation, Japanese companies established robust supply chains in East Asia that prioritised geographical proximity to ensure cost reduction and efficiency. However, since the late 2010s, Japanese companies have begun to emphasise geopolitical distance in supply chains in response to concerns about economic security. This article examines how the supply chain strategies of Japanese companies have evolved over the past decade.
