Is national technology policy obsolete in a globalised world? The Japanese response
探讨在全球化背景下国家技术政策是否失效，以日本为例分析其如何通过国际化技术政策保留国家目标，并评估这种策略的合理性与普适性。
It is increasingly argued that in a world where trade, business and finance, and science and technology cross national borders, attempts by national governments and firms to approptiate the fruits of national technology programmes are doomed to fail. Japan, although a late globaliser, is becoming increasingly globalised. However, Japanese policy-makers have responded by internationalising Japan's technology policy while retaining its national objectives. Are these policies doomed to fail or can they be justified? If the latter, is the Japanese case special, or is it at least to some extent valid for large Western countries?
