For the business and government relationship in Japan, the pre-war
period was an era of considerable change. Framed by Japan's
nation-building efforts, the relationship adapted and evolved with
the often fluid economic and political circumstances. As both
business and government had vested interests in the direction and
success of Japan's industrialization process, on one level they
became partners. At the same time, though, they were both
stakeholders in the fiercely competitive iron and steel industry.
This book explores how that partner-competitor relationship worked
during the amalgamation of this strategic industry from 1916 to
1934, demonstrating how both parties engaged in meaningful
negotiation through the open forum of the Shingikai - or Councils
of Deliberation - throughout the pre-war period. Drawing upon the
original minutes of the debates, it shows the ways in which the
participants defended their vested interests and sought to forge
agreement, taking the forum seriously as a means of influencing
outcomes, and not simply as a mere exercise of artifice deployed to
shroud the real locus of decision-making. Business-Government
Relations in Prewar Japan is an important contribution to the
literature on the relationship between government and business in
pre-war Japan.
