Understanding the 'lost decade' of the 1990s is central to explaining Japan today. Following a period of record high growth, the chronic downturn after 1990 raised fundamental questions about the course of the world's third largest economy. This crisis also presented Japan with the opportunity for transformative change. Changes have followed, some of them less than might be expected, and some of them far more sweeping than is generally realized. This volume presents a wide range of international perspectives on post-bubble Japan, exploring the effects of the long downturn on the views of the Japanese business community, management practices, and national policies. To what degree has Japan's traumatic experience prompted basic reforms in terms of legal changes, corporate governance, business strategy, and the longterm national vision for the economy? This book was originally published as a special issue of Asia Pacific Business Review.

Miles Fletcher examines the role of the Japanese business community
in helping the nation solve an unprecedented combination of
economic challenges in the 1920s and 1930s: chronic trade deficits,
world depression, rampant protectionism, and mobilization for war
in Asia. Because of such severe crises, business executives changed
their attitudes toward foreign trade and types of national economic
policies needed to succeed in a global marketplace.
Fletcher explains how three writers--Ryu Shintaro, Royama
Masamichi, and Miki Kiyoshi--who were supporters of democratic
socialism became ideologues for the East Asian bloc ideal that
rationalized Japan's dominance of Asia after 1937, and he
demonstrates how and why they designed the New Order movement of
1940. He concludes that the advocacy of fascism was a reasoned
effort to respond to the ills of industrialization and the
challenges of mobilization for war.
