Japan's post‐war protection policy: Some implications for less developed countries
分析日本战后发展对当代发展中国家的启示,指出日本内部市场竞争激烈是关键,建议发展中国家考虑刺激内部竞争的政策。
This article examines some of the implications of Japan's postwar development for contemporary developing countries. Whilst acknowledging the qualitative differences in economic structure between Japan in 1945 and today's developing countries it argues that many of Japan's decisions on economic strategy throw light on current debates regarding the merits of free trade or protectionism as strategies for developing countries. It stresses however the key role played in Japan by the highly competitive nature of the internal market and stresses the need to consider policies to stimulate a more competitive internal structure within developing country markets.
