In 1603, a Tokugawa shogunate (military dictatorship)
ushered in a long period of isolation from foreign influence
in order to secure its power. For more than two centuries
this policy enabled Japan to enjoy stability and a flowering
of its indigenous culture. Following the Treaty of Kanagawa
with the US in 1854, Japan opened its ports and began
to intensively modernize and industrialize. During the
late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional
power that was able to defeat the forces of both China
and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and
southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied
Manchuria, and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion
of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering
America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied
much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in
World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic
power and a staunch ally of the US. While the emperor
retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected
politicians - with heavy input from bureaucrats and
business executives - wield actual decisionmaking power.
The economy experienced a major slowdown starting in
the 1990s following three decades of unprecedented growth,
but Japan still remains a major economic power, both
in Asia and globally. In January 2009, Japan assumed
a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the
2009-10 term. |
In the years following World War II, government-industry
cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology,
and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of
GDP) helped Japan advance with extraordinary speed to
the rank of second most technologically powerful economy
in the world after the US. Today, measured on a purchasing
power parity (PPP) basis, Japan is the third-largest
economy in the world after the US and China. Two notable
characteristic of the post-war economy were the close
interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers,
and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee
of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of
the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding
under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic
demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily
dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny
agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected,
with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually
self sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of
its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of
the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for
nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall
real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average
in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average
in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging
just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient
investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s
that required a protracted period of time for firms
to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. In October
2007 Japan's longest post-war period of economic expansion
ended after 69 months and Japan entered into recession
in 2008, with 2009 marking a return to near 0% interest
rates. The 10-year privatization of Japan Post, which
has functioned not only as the national postal delivery
system but also, through its banking and insurance facilities
as Japan's largest financial institution, was completed
in October 2007, marking a major milestone in the process
of structural reform. The Japanese financial sector
was not heavily exposed to sub-prime mortgages or their
derivative instruments and weathered the initial effect
of the global credit crunch, but a sharp downturn in
business investment and global demand for Japan's exports
in late 2008 pushed Japan further into a recession.
Japan's huge government debt, which totals 170% of GDP,
and the aging of the population are two major long-run
problems. Debate continues on the role of and effects
of reform in restructuring the economy. |
