Abstract
This paper examines the dynamics and underlying causes of the Japanese economic revival that has occurred since the end of World War II, looking both at its economic components (such as the shift from agricultural to high-tech sectors) as well as the demographic and cultural elements that are just as important for understanding the Japanese economy.
From the Paper
"The Japanese economic miracle is complex and can only be explained by looking to political, cultural, and economic reasons. It rests on the government?s taking responsibility for social welfare, vocational training, and education. It rests on the responsibility taken by both consumers and producers for economic prosperity. It rests on the government?s decision to concentrate on high-quality and high-technology products designed for domestic and foreign consumption and on the government?s building stable, economically advanced trading partners to replace the Asian markets to which inexpensive textiles had been
sent earlier. A number of factors have greatly aided Japan?s economic resurgence that began in the 1950s and has continued since then, among them (ironically) the complete destruction of the nation?s industrial base by the war. This meant that Japan's new factories, using the latest developments in technology, were often more efficient than those of their foreign competitors. With the addition of a youthful and well-educated workforce, a high domestic savings rate that provided ample capital, and an activist government and bureaucracy that provided guidance, support, and subsidies, the ingredients were in place for rapid and sustained economic growth."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth look at the Japanese economy before and after the collapse of the Tokyo stock-market which occurred at the start of the current recession. It shows how Japan was considered to be the perfect economy and idealized by the West with regard to its statistics on growth, unemployment and productivity. Causes of the collapse are analyzed. The writer presents many statistics about the current economic state and looks at the government's plans to boost the economy.
From the Paper
"The revisionists asserted that, in contrast to the open-market capitalism of the "Anglo-American" model, Japan practiced a unique form of state-directed insider capitalism. Under that model, close relationships among business executives, bankers, and government officials strongly influence economic outcomes. By strategically allocating capital through a tightly controlled banking system, they argued, Japan would drive foreign competitors out of sector after sector, leading eventually to world economic domination. (Thompson, 1997)
"Sooner or later, the United States must come to grips with the fact that Japan has become the leading industrial nation in the world. The Japanese have the longest life span. They have the highest employment, the highest literacy, and the smallest gap between rich and poor. Their manufacturing products have the highest quality."

The American-Japanese Relationship, 2000.
This paper discusses the history, which led to the formation of the American-Japanese alliance, the partnership itself in terms of its socio-cultural, economic and geopolitical dimensions and the prospects for the future.

Abstract
This paper explains that the kind of partnership, which was forged between these two nations following Japan's defeat in the Second World War, is unprecedented, an unlikely alliance between conqueror and conquered, an unequal alliance that places both parties in a position of advantage. The author points out that a major social factor influencing American-Japanese relations is the sense of insecurity and vulnerability, which the Japanese have, being subject to earthquakes, typhoons, tidal waves and the possibility of domination by nations with greater military strength; whereas, to the Japanese, the high degree of self-confidence displayed by Americans comes across as being "mindless arrogance". The paper relates that the Japan's phenomenal economic growth in the span of a single generation, owing largely to its 1960 "income-doubling program", has raised serious problems for the American-Japanese relationship, especially since it was paralleled by a slow decline in the American economy up until the 1980s.

Conclusion: The Future of U.S.-Japanese Relations
From the Paper
"U.S.-Japanese relations date back to the middle of the nineteenth century, when, in 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay and opened up Japan to trade with the West. The U.S.-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce, signed in 1857, not only gave the United States an immediate advantage over its Western competitors, but also had the profound effect of re-instating the Japanese Emperor and launching Japan on the road to modernization. A more serious consequence, however, was Japan's emerging imperialist ambitions, which were early demonstrated in its launching of the Sino-Japanese War (1895-1895) with its resultant acquisition of Taiwan as well as in its success in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and subsequent annexation of Korea (1910) and Manchuria (1931).

Japanese Post-World War II Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the cultural advantages of Japan's post-war economic miracle.

Abstract
This paper argues that some elements of pre-World War II Japanese culture proved to be advantages to the processes of economic reconstruction as they took hold in the first decades after 1945. If the Japanese recovery is looked at in terms of class and economy only, the Japanese defeat in World War II signaled a complete break from the imperial ethos, which had dominated national culture and contributed to practically every aspect of Japanese cultural and economic life. When Japanese post-war economic development is explored in ways which include cultural advantages, however, the so-called "miracle" of reconstruction begins to seem somewhat more predictable.

From the Paper
"Within the Japanese cuisine, there contains many strange meals but there are myriads of delights that would make anybody?s tastes buds melt. Coming from a Japanese decent I have tried many of these tasty meals, but I would not take it too an extreme to say that I drink ?snakes blood for longevity?(Steinberg 6). Japanese meals are actually considered very healthy and low fat considered to the traditional American, southern fried chicken. Japanese food is served in little portions and displayed in a very exciting way to liven up every aspect of each savory bite. To liven up these dishes we often cut vegetables or fruits into tiny designs or animals, or organize each piece of meat and each small vegetable in a way that flatters the plate. Cutting and Slicing, mostly vegetables into meticulous designs, makes a dish its own work of art. "

"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the Japanese economy and current economic problems challenging Japanese policy makers, from stagnating production and unresolved banking questions, to the slowdown in the global markets.
From the Paper
"And many think Japan is so badly in need of fundamental reforms, that there isn't much the central bank can do. Bank of Japan {BOJ} must print enough money to rev up inflation, convince consumers that rising prices are back to stay and get them spending again. Other economists think BOJ should set inflation targets to prove that it's dedicated to stabilizing prices in the country."

From the Paper
"In order to put the significance of the consideration of Japanese economics into perspective, consider for a moment the fact that Japan is the second world economic superpower, behind the United States (Witter, 1997). Keeping that in mind, there are several key economic indicators that show a true storm brewing within the Japanese economy due to the debt of the Japanese government; for example, current figures show that the debt of the Japanese government outweighs their GPD (Gross Domestic Product) by an obscenely high 170%, the Japanese National Bank is insolvent, and there is a glut of outstanding JGBs (Japanese Government Bonds (Posen, 2000). While all of these statistics are staggering, there are some very informative models and theories that illustrate this problem in greater depth; the best of these models and theories will now be presented and discussed in an effort to add another dimension to this research and provide a complete understanding of not only the topic, but also its significance to everyone in the developed world and beyond."

Abstract
This paper supports Morris-Suzuki?s proposition that a review of history (time as opposed to space) will prove that the definition of ?Japanese? has been a function of time and political, social and economic context in which there were ?varying strategies which the state used to manage difference and create uniformity? for its own purposes.
From the Paper
"In ?Japan? in Reinventing Japan: Time, Space, Nation? (M.E. Sharp, 1998, p. 10) Tessa Morris-Suzuki proposes that the definition of what it means to be Japanese ?was not contestant or stable. Instead ? it was contextual and changing?. She argues for her hypothesis and her proposal of re-examining the nature of the nation and the nationalistic concept by presenting an overview of history to support the fact that Japan is not a homogeneous society and never has been. This is to present argument to the contrary position that the Japanese were essentially a homogeneous social group, a phenomenon created by geographic isolation. Instead, Morris-Suzuki proposes that a review of history (time as opposed to space) will prove that the definition of ?Japanese? has been a function of time and political, social and economic context in which there were ?varying strategies which the state used to manage difference and create uniformity? (pg. 34) for its own purposes."

Abstract
Japan is currently in its worst recession since World War II. The country?s economy slowed dramatically in the early 1990s after the bubble economy of the 1970s and 1980s. This paper takes a detailed look at what caused Japan?s economic crisis and subsequent problems related to the declining Gross Domestic Product (GDP), failed stimulus packages, banking inefficiencies, ineffective interest rate policies, deflation, currency devaluation, and Japan?s aging population. Given a consideration of all these factors, the writer makes recommendations most likely to have a positive impact in rejuvenating Japan?s struggling economy. The paper concludes that Japan?s best course of action includes raising its nominal GDP by increasing its monetary base, engaging in massive bank restructuring, using inflation targeting techniques, and putting distressed real estate and other foreclosed collateral on the market.
From the Paper
"In early 1990, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates and put a squeeze on credit. But it was done too abruptly. As a result, the Stock Exchange soon lost half its value and property prices dropped by sixty percent to eighty percent. The banks, finding themselves with a mountain of bad debt, drastically cut back credit. This in turn led to the collapse of thousands of small and medium-sized companies. All this has created a profound sense of shock contributing to negative growth. The Unemployment rate of 5.4 percent in 2002 now stands higher than at any point since 1953."

Abstract
This is a paper about Japan's social developments. The author examines Japan's developments in military, educational and economical aspects with focus on the Japanese system of economic development.
From the Paper
"There is a time that every country must decide on its future function, whether to focus on defense, social justice, education, economy or others. Japan is no different. In the past fifty years, Japanese government has set economic development as its top priority, and the result is evident from 1960s through 1980s. This Japanese system of economic development is unique. This distinctive model has two main components: first, the keiretsu, industrial groupings, which provides the economic growth, and second, the government which one, paves the direction of economic development with financial assistance and two, plays the role of Gatekeeper. These two groups work together to bring unprecedented economic growth."

Abstract
This paper examines the Japanese culture and its relationship to banking. The characteristics of Japanese banking are outlined, and two socio-economic constructs, known as the "zaibatsu" and "keiretsu", are discussed. These socio-economic constructs illustrate strong historical links between banks and industry in Japan. The differences between Japanese and Western capitalism are explained.
From the Paper
"Several years ago, researchers began investigating the relationship between Japanese Capitalism and Western Capitalism. Johnson (1993) pointed out that the differences between the two types of Capitalism are profound and point to changing and evolving theories of economics. This dichotomy of attitudes is the result, suggests Johnson, of many factors, most predominant of which was a certain blindness on the part of the West to acknowledge that Japanese capitalism was indeed different from the laissez-faire construct of the West (Aoki, 1988)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the national objectives of Japan: Economic growth, social stability, and the peculiar Japanese methodologies to achieve each. The writer of this paper shows economic growth of Japan in the postwar period. Itconcludes with an explanation on the cause and effect relationship between the monetary as well as the non-monetary characteristics that led to the recession.
From the Paper
"The integral and compatible functioning of these two systems brings about an upsurge in government spending, resulting in boosting end-user spending, as well as corporate and commercial investments. Thus, if the systems were effectively sustained, the economy could be revived from the recession era, compensating for and recovering the losses incurred through the slump."

From the Paper
"This paper will examine the political, social, and economic issues surrounding the imprisonment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. On December 7, 1941, the nation of Japan launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, an American military base located in the Hawaiian islands. As a result of this attack, the United States government declared war on Japan. In the coming months, many Americans began to fear that Japanese-Americans living in the western United States might be involved in espionage to help their home nation win the war. There was no evidence to support this fear. Rather, it was the result of racist feelings which had arisen in response to the war. Nevertheless, politicians throughout the United States began urging the President to pass a bill which would forcibly remove all Japanese-Americans from the west coast for the duration of the war. One of the leaders of ... "
