Competitor and Supporter for the United States

Japanese Economy, 1998, vol. 26, issue 5, 27-82

Abstract: Japan competes with the United States economically while acting as a supporter, not a challenger, in world politics. Japan is America's number one ally in Asia. It has made economically based contributions. How cooperative has Japan been in the use of economic power for the United States? The answer to this question depends on three questions. First, does Japan intend to facilitate realization of U.S. policy objectives? Second, what does the United States want from Japan? Does Washington believe that Tokyo has been cooperative? Third, how should researchers assess Japan's cooperation based on "objective" evidence? This chapter examines these questions.
