Deregulation has been at the top of Japan's economic policy agenda for many years. Now, in the midst of a financial crisis that engulfs all of Asia, pressures on the Japanese government for substantial reform--coming from both inside and outside forces--are stronger than ever.But is Japan actually making the changes necessary to reduce market controls, encourage competition, and create new opportunities for imports? To most outside observers, regulatory reform in Japan is an incomprehensible blur of grandiose proposals and byzantine political maneuvering, which masks developments that could be of tremendous significance to the world at large.In this book, experts from the United States and Japan cut through the fog that surrounds Japanese regulatory reform. They review the characteristics of Japanese regulation and analyze the content of regulatory reforms proposed to date as well as the political dynamics that shaped them. The book also examines the nuts-and-bolts issues of reforms in major economic sectors and the implications of deregulation for access to Japanese markets for foreign imports. By focusing on both the larger political, economic, and strategic contexts and on the way in which the micro and macro aspects of regulatory reform are interconnected, this volume makes comprehensible the tidal wave of proposals and posturing coming out of Japan.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Miyajima Hideaki, Elizabeth Norville, Kosuke Oyama, and Yul Sohn.Lonny E. Carlile is an assistant professor of Japanese Studies in the Center for Japanese Studies/Department of Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Mark C. Tilton is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Purdue University.

The Contours of Endearment offers a fresh, Southeast Asia–centered perspective on the complex and evolving relationship between Japan and the nations of Southeast Asia. While much scholarship has emphasized state-to-state political and economic ties, this volume highlights the softer, more nuanced dimensions of these connections—those that emerge through culture, migration, education, and everyday encounters.Through case studies of the original five members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN-5)—Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand—the contributors trace how Southeast Asians themselves have engaged with Japan across multiple arenas. Chapters explore themes such as the historical context of post–World War II relations, the development of Japanese studies in Southeast Asian universities, labor migration from Indonesia and the Philippines, and the circulation and localization of Japanese popular culture, including anime and manga, in Singapore and Indonesia.Employing an innovative "inter-area studies" approach, the volume shows how Southeast Asia–Japan relations cannot be reduced to simple economic partnerships or geopolitical strategies, but must be understood as multi-layered interactions shaped by local histories, aspirations, and cultural flows. By privileging Southeast Asian experiences, The Contours of Endearment broadens the "Japan (plus)" model of inquiry and offers new ways of thinking about Japanese studies that move beyond the Japan-centric frameworks that have long dominated the field.This timely collection not only deepens understanding of Southeast Asia–Japan relations but also demonstrates how area studies can evolve beyond Eurocentric limitations to embrace more dynamic, multidirectional perspectives. Rich in detail and comparative insight, it will appeal to students and researchers of Japanese studies, Southeast Asian studies, cultural studies, migration, and international relations.
