Japan and the Pacific Free Trade Area (Hardcover)

Since 1965 when the idea of a Pacific Free Trade Area (PAFTA) was proposed, there have been rising levels of integration and co-operation between the Asian-Pacific countries. Pekka Korhonen examines the nature of Japan's economic rise since World War II and its economic and political relations with other nations in the Pacific area as a result of that economic prowess. The study explains Japan's and the region's rapid economic development as having followed the pattern of Akamatsu Kaname's flying geese theory. This in turn led to an optimistic world outlook for Japan, in which political and military tensions could be wiped away as a result of sustained regional economic growth and the formation of an interdependent structure for Asian-Pacific countries. This work should appeal to all those engaged in the study of Pacific economic growth and integration.
