This innovative and multidisciplinary book explores Japan's economic crisis and recovery. Specifically, it analyses the role of corporations, the state, macroeconomic and industrial policy, and the changing status of Japan as an economic role model.The contributors list comprises an international panel of economists, political scientists and international relations specialists.

the Japanese macro-economy and financial system
the deep-seated controversy over the process and problems of kudoka - the hollowing out of Japan's industrial base

This provocative and timely book offers new reflections and original research findings on a topic of global interest and significance.
