Japanese foreign direct investment : recent trends, determinants, and prospects
No full textIn the late 1980s, Japan became the biggest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world. The main beneficiaries of the rapid increase in investment flows were industrial countries, but the developing world (especially East Asia and Latin America) also received substantial inflows. In East Asia, the newly industrial economies (NIEs) of Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan (China) were, at first, production bases for Japanese manufacturing in the 1970s and early 1980s. But in the late 1980s, these countries became new, expanding consumer markets, attracting huge Japanese investments in the tertiary (service) sector, while investments in manufacturing shrank rapidly because of rising labor costs. The Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) and China became Japan's new production base. In Latin America (mostly small Caribbean countries) Japan's focus is almost exclusively on tax havens. Globally, Japan's investments in the secondary (manufacturing) and service sectors of the major Latin American nations are only marginal. Japanese investment flows declined drastically after 1989, mostly because of the depressed global and domestic economy, after rapid asset price deflation in Japan. Hardest hit by the decline were the United States and Europe. Japanese FDI flows to developing countries also declined, but less. The biggest losers were the NIEs and the Caribbean tax havens. The biggest losers were the NIEs and the Caribbean tax havens. Japanese investments continued to grow in other Latin American countries and, even more, in the ASEAN and China. Japanese investors sharply reduced tertiary sector investments, primarily geared to maintaining or expanding markets. Investments in the secondary sector, making use of low-cost production, continued to expand. This trend is expected to continue in the near future, with FDI flows declining further, albeit more slowly. Low-wage production countries such as China and Indonesia will attract an increasing share. Investment to expand markets in the industrial countries and the NIEs are likely to decline. But medium-term prospects for Japanese FDI in developing countries are brighter, as economic recovery and continuing current account surpluses in Japan will lead to a resumption of active foreign investment by Japanese multinational corporations.Foreign Direct Investment,Environmental Economics&Policies,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Economic Theory&Research,Trade and Regional Integration

No full text佐藤春夫の作品を文学的出発時から昭和十年代にかけて読み進んでいくと、前後から批評精神の乏しい、質の低い作品が目につくようになる。それは「アジアの子」や『東天紅』に極まるといえるが、この要因は、春夫が文学的出発時からもっていたな世界が、「『風流』論」を通過することにより「日本的感覚」のものへと傾斜し、さらにそれが後になると大衆の狂躁に呼応する形で軍部主導の的感覚と類似のものへと変質していったからである。
本稿では「アジアの子」とその周辺の世界のありようを詳しくさぐり、その世界を展開せしめた右要因の変質の過程を明らめる。なお本稿の末尾には、講談社版『佐藤春夫全集』第十二巻所載、佐藤春夫著作目録にもれているものを目録化して記す。
When works of Sato Haruo were going on reading from literal departure to the second half of the 1930s and the first half of the 1940s, works having low poor quality of the critical mind comes to stand out from before and after “Shina Jihen (China Incident)”, “The Child of Asia” and “Totenko”（東天紅）were at its peak. The reason for this is that the fantastic, sensible world which Haruo had since the literary departure inclined toward Japanese sense by passing through “Furyu” theory, moreover, it changed in quality to a similar thing to the military-led racial sense in form to agree with a franticness of the public after Shina-jihen.
In this article, “The Child of Asia” and the neighboring world circumstances were investigated in detail, and the process of the change in quality of the factor that let the world unfold mentioned above was clarified. Contained in “Complete works of Sato Haruo” Vol.12, Kodansha edition and omissions of something in his author bibliography were made catalogues and stated at the end of this article.departmental bulletin pape
