Japan is a country lacking her own energy sources and other natural
resource . Still, over the 4 decades since the end of World War II,
she has achieved considerable economic development, a fact which
highlights the success of the policies implemented by the
government and their acceptance by the well matured Japanese
society. At present, the world is confronted with serious
environmental problems, for example, the consumption of large
amounts of energy that leads to in creases in atmospheric carbon
dioxide levels anq subsequent global warming. After the oil crisis
in the 1970s, Japan strove to reduce energy consumption, and
achieved significant improvements in production efficiency in
industry and in the air conditioning of homes. Another example of
her success is in the automobile industry, where Japanese
automobiles enjoy a good reputation for fuel efficiency. Japan has
shown that environmental protection and economic development can be
accomplished simultaneously, although the problems have not been
solved completely. There are many areas that require further study.
In this book, Dr. Helmar Krupp describes how society is organized
to form a system. Then, in a unique and interesting turn, he tries
to analyze the indus trial development using Schumpeter's theory.
Subsequently, many leaders in the field of energy policy in Japan
discuss the issues involved from a variety of viewpoints."
The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally
