The 1970s and 1980s saw a radical expansion of manufacturing from developing countries, triggering off a new type of trade conflict in world trade. The response of industrial countries has been multi-fold, ranging from protection in sensitive industries to preference. This book takes stock, and evaluates the trade policy measures of Japan, USA and the EC, towards developing countries, with a realistic, "non-dependency" approach. Other works by Ippei Yamazawa include "Economic Development and International Trade: The Japanese Model", "Review of Pacific Co-operation Activities", "The Australian-Japan Relationship Toward the Year 2000" (with Peter D. Drysdale et al) and "The Economic Development of Japan and Korea: A Parallel with Lessons" (co-edited with C.H. Lee).

Industrial Policies for Pacific Economic Growth (1986) explores the issues surrounding industrial policy within the context of the major Pacific economies and their interaction with each other and the rest of the world. The first part of this volume deals with ‘de facto’ industrial policy – the range of diverse measures governments undertake to encourage the development of particular industries at the expense of others. The second part examines the industrial policies of some developed Pacific countries (the US, Canada and Japan) and industrial policy and growth strategies in developing countries (Taiwan and ASEAN). The third part scrutinises specific industries which are particularly important for the developing countries of the Pacific region: iron and steel, textiles and clothing, automobiles and petrochemicals. The fourth part discusses regional aspects of industrial policy with reference to ASEAN and China.
