This book chronicles how a controversial set of policy assumptions
about the Japanese economy, known as revisionism, rose to become
the basis of the trade policy approach of the Clinton
administration. In the context of growing fear over Japan's
increasing economic strength, revisionists argued that Japan
represented a distinctive form of capitalism that was inherently
closed to imports and that posed a threat to U.S. high-tech
industries. Revisionists advocated a "managed trade" solution in
which the Japanese government would be forced to set aside a share
of the market for foreign goods.
The author describes the role that various American academics,
government officials, and business leaders played in developing
revisionist thought. Revisionism was at its peak just as the
Clinton administration came into office. The author uses extensive
interviews with policy makers to trace the internal discussions
inside the Clinton White House, which culminated in the adoption of
revisionist policy and then to demands for "results-oriented" trade
agreements during the Framework negotiations. This book details how
Japan refused to accept these managed trade solutions, and fought
to discredit revisionism and to rally global support against
American unilateralism.
