Japan and China Cooperation, Competition and Conflict [Hardcover]

The flow of goods, capital technology and organisational know-how between Japan and China has increased dramatically, yet the relationship between the two countries remains far below its potential scope. The differing economic structures of the two countries, the mutual political distrust and the burden of an unsettled historical past stand in the way of a more intensive economic integration. This book combines up to date research from the German Institute for Japanese Studies (DIJ) with papers from a conference organised jointly with the Fujitsu Research Institute (FRI) and is an essential tool for academics and those doing business in East Asia.Preface; I.Hijiya-Kirschnereit Introduction; H.G.Hilpert & R.Haak The Emergence of China as an Economic Power and its Implications for Japan; C.-H.
