Paper Abstract
A 7 page overview of Japanese governmental and societal structure, her relationship with the U.S., and how these factors have influenced her economy. This paper emphasizes that Japan’s emphasis on education industrialization has paid off in one of the highest per-capita incomes, and standards of living, in the Asian world. It notes, however, that even Japan has experienced considerable economic turmoil in recent years. The meltdown of the Asian Tiger in the late 1990s has opened the world’s eyes to the realities of economics and politics as they have never been opened before. Fortunately, the U.S. is still on back stage in regard to aiding Japan onward to a promising economic future. In contrast to the Clinton Administration who apparently sought to undermine Japanese/U.S. relations, the Bush administration has expressed support for Japan’s structural and economic reform. President George W. Bush’s recent tour of Japan reemphasized that fact. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
