I"Does the United States face a trade crisis with Japan? Are the Japanese competing unfairly by not allowing American goods into their markets while "dumping" their goods into the United States? Does the trade imbalance that the United States has with Japan indicate that the US economy is destined for weakness? These questions have received much attention by the American media recently, and there have been charges that America is selling its heritage and economic strength to the Japanese. Some Americans, mired in recession, have turned to "Japan-bashing" and place the responsibility for the trade situation with Japan solely on the Japanese. ... take on the complicated issue of trade between America and Japan, and move beyond the headlines ...

"This study will consider how gender roles are enforced in dating in the United States and Japan. In addition to reviewing some of the literature on the topic, this paper will include responses from interviews conducted with four people. The four people interviewed were a female and a male from the United States, and a female and a male from Japan.
This topic is of interest because gender roles help define the status of the people who make up a particular society. In both the United States and Japan, men are generally given the role of earning a living and providing an income for the family. By contrast, the women in both countries are usually given the role of raising children and caring for the home. These facts raise a number of questions regarding the impact of gender roles on society. For example, do the women of the United States and ..."

"Introduction
The labor market is affected by a number of forces, and the general health of the economy is one of the most important determinants of how healthy the labor market in a given country may be. The Great Depression that started in 1929 affected different countries in different ways and produced different sorts of governmental policies to address the problems. In the United States gross national product tumbled by almost 50% by 1933, while unemployment grew to 25%. In Japan, however, the Great Depression had a much less severe impact. The general economic downturn was not nearly as severe as in the U.S., and by 1933 the economy had already begun to recover with full employment being reached in 1938. This was due to a significant devaluation of the yen, flexible labor markets, and the gradual ..."

"This research presents an argument favoring the imposition of economic sanctions by the United States against Japan. The problem is described, and justifications for sanctions are provided.
The American Balance of Payments Problem
The major problem area in the United States balance of payments is the trade deficit. The balance of international trade for a country is "the difference between its exports and its imports". In a narrow definition, exports and imports are considered to be only tangible goods. A broader definition, however, also covers all intangible services. This broader definition must be further expanded to include remittances, ... "

"This paper examines the challenge facing an American company seeking to do business in the Japanese market. Historically, Japan has remained one of the most culturally separate countries in Asia, carefully guarding its way of life against foreign incursions. In recent years, as a significant portion of its population has begun to travel abroad, the Japanese market has started to open itself to international business in important ways. Nevertheless, the culture remains a distinct challenge to the American marketer, as many large corporations have been dismayed to discover. Penetrating this market requires a clear understanding of the Japanese character and the cultural elements which are important to introducing new products effectively.
Among all the countries of the Pacific rim, Japan has always represented a unique case with regard to the Western nations."

"Introduction
With its strong economy, Japan has long been an attractive market for international companies, but most have found entrance difficult. Aside from formal trade restrictions, the business environment in Japan includes long-standing relationships and interrelationships which can be difficult for foreign companies to understand and even more difficult for them to exploit. Nonetheless, Japanese consumers are delighted with American goods and American style, and so some Western goods have found popularity in Japan that continues to encourage other manufacturers. Disney is one example of an American company whose product (Tokyo Disneyland) has successfully been adopted by Japanese consumers; soft drinks are another area in which American companies in general, and Coca-Cola in particular, have found success.

"The Endless Circular Dance
Japanese-American Relations in the 1990s
In the fall of 1998, a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times called attention to Japan's failure to act seriously on promises to reform its financial system, reforms that would bring greater openness to the system. A time traveler from 1988 or from 1978 would hardly have been surprised to see an American newspaper article criticizing Japanese economic policy; such criticisms have long been a staple both of American news reportage about Japan and of American official statements. The time traveler might have been surprised only that the criticism involved Japan's banks rather than its industrial firms and export-import policy, and indeed might have jumped to the ..."

"One of the most important trade issues today is that of the protection of intellectual property rights. The United States loses a vast amount of value in intellectual property rights abroad every year by piracy. This research examines the issue of intellectual property rights and piracy in the United States, Japan and Mexico.
The right of intellectual property is defined as "any right existing that is recognized under, inter alia, patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or mask work regimes" (Lackert 162). An estimated $40 billion is earned from foreign sales of United States copyrighted products each year. The audiovisual industry, comprised of motion pictures, videocassettes, music and related products, represents the second greatest export for the United States.

"When an individual accepts an offer of employment from a company, there is an implicit contract involved: the employee agrees to perform services for the employer at an agreed-upon pay rate. So long as the employee performs to the standards of the employer, the employee can expect to continue working. When companies begin suffering economic losses, however, resources are trimmed. Since human resources often represent the largest investment a company has, American companies tend to cut jobs in order to save money. The result is that workers who have otherwise been performing their jobs well can find themselves out of work. If the layoff occurs during a recession, new work can be difficult to obtain. Some companies have policies which make layoffs a last resort alternative, but even some of these reconsidered that strategy during the recession of the early 1990s..."

"Introduction
There has been much publicity surrounding trade practices within Japan, particularly with regard to that nation's trade with the United States. Japan is one of the United States' major trading partners, and the various regulations and policies which the two countries pursue are critical to the long-term success of this relationship. Amid cries of protectionism and similar complaints, there has been increasing pressure on the Japanese to open their markets to American products and companies, while the Japanese assert that the technically inferior American products are simply not in demand in Japan. This research examines the current trade relationships that exist between the United States and Japan, and considers the opportunities for American companies seeking to do business in Japan."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this report is to discuss trade disputes and negotiations between the United States and Japan. The report will be largely concerned with problems related to importing and exporting between the two nations. It can be seen that these problems have been developing over the past two decades. In the years following the Second World War, the United States and Japan experienced relatively smooth economic relations. This was primarily because the United States played a stronger role in the relationship, with Japan graciously accepting America's political and economic superiority while busying itself with work to repair its war-torn lands.
In the 1970s, this simple relationship began to undergo an important transformation. Japan began to experience greater economic stability and was able to enter the international market (...)"

"Introduction
Japanese management techniques, including just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing and quality circles (QC), have gained much attention in recent years as American companies have focused on improving their profit performance and their competitiveness in the international market. However, it is not possible to simply transport Japanese management approaches without taking into account some of the significant differences between the cultures of Japan and the United States. This research examines some of the critical cultural differences between the two countries and considers how those cultural differences affect business operations in the two nations, and, specifically, within the automotive industry.

" The purpose of this paper is to discuss the widening trade deficit between the United States and Japan and to analyze some of the misunderstandings and Japanese cultural elements leading to problems in economic relations. Also, we will look at contradictory Japanese attitudes and some of the historical roots of the problem.
A creditor nation is one whose investments abroad exceed the size of foreign investments in its own economy. A debtor nation is one that owes foreigners more than the sum of its own assets abroad. Creditor nations have a great deal of leverage over those to whom they lend their money; debtor nations often become subservient to the interests of their creditors.
Japan replaced the United States as the world's leading creditor in 1986. The scope of recent Japanese capital outflows.."

"Texas has added many economic, political and strategic advantages to the United States. But Texas was not acquired by the simple task of colonization and claim; Texas was fought for and won from the Spanish Empire by the people of these United States. They did not enter this conflict without reason or resolution; they entered this battle for independence and eventual statehood for many political and social reasons. First, the already great abundance of United States immigrants in the Spanish State of Texas, or Tejas, at the time of the revolution aided in the approval in action by the U.S. Secondly, the comparisons of the citizens of Texas predicament to the United States? own revolution also aided in the agreement on U.S. initiative. Finally, the American dislike of the Spanish Empire and its wish to dissolve its influence in North America aided as well in American entrance into the affairs of the Texas Revolution."

Abstract
This paper argues that the deterioration in the relationship between America and Japan originated in the Japanese ultranationalism and militarism that threatened American security. Threatened by Japanese aggression, the United States imposed an embargo on Japan, which it felt would persuade Japanese leaders to moderate their aggression. The American embargo, however, only intensified Japanese aggression, since Japan became more desperate for raw minerals and international respect.
