The essays in this volume explore the phenomenon of foreign
industrial recruitment in terms of the experience of six
mid-American states--Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
and Tennessee--in attracting Japanese automobile assembly
facilities. This experience and the choice of plant sites by Mazda,
Honda, Fuji-Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Nissan was invariably
determined by multi-state negotiations and escalating state
government incentive packages. To understand this phenomenon and
its consequences, the essays in this volume sketch its comparative
historical, economic, and legal dimensions; examine the dynamics of
Japanese automobile investment in terms of the six site-specific
studies; and then place these industrial recruitment experiences
within a wider framework of federal-state relations and the
prospects for a national industrial policy. Part I illuminates the
background to and the comparative setting for the mid-American
competition for Japanese automobile plants in the era of
international corporate flight. Part II carefully probes the
dynamics of development in terms of six site-specific studies.
Finally, Part III places these six state industrial recruitment
experiences within the wider framework of federal-state relations.
This book makes informative reading for anyone interested in the
automobile industry, Japanese-American trade polices, and
federal-state relations.
