During the last 30 years, the Japanese political economy system has
experienced significant changes that are usually not well
understood or analysed because of their complexity and
contradictions. This book provides new analyses and insights on the
process of evolving Japanese political economy including Japan's
current economic policy known as Abenomics. The first three
chapters looks at evolutions at the corporate level, characterised
in recent years by increasing firm heterogeneity. The authors apply
theoretically driven analyses to the complex subject of corporate
governance, human resource management and corporate reporting by
discussing new developments in context of their economic
opportunities as well as of their institutional contradictions with
continuities in Japanese business practices. The second group of
chapters deals with institutional changes and evolving economic
reforms on the macro level of political economy. The two chapters
focus on the financial system regulation and economic growth
policies as two central elements of Japan's political economy and
key drivers in the evolution of its economy. Their analysis allows
us to better understand the interplay between reforms and change in
consumption credit and to reinterpret Abenomics as a manifestation
of ongoing contradictions within the Japanese political economy.
The chapters were originally published in a special issue in Japan
Forum.
