Böcker av Saadia M. Pekkanen

In Asian Designs, Saadia M. Pekkanen and her collaborators advance a new framework for debate and sophisticated examinations of institutional arrangements for several major issue areas in the world order-security, trade, environment, and public health.

Using case studies and econometric analyses, the author finds that the postwar Japanese state engaged in industrial policy mainly based on economic and not-as is assumed in mainstream political economy theories-political criteria.

This is a study of the ways in which law is aggressively reshaping Japan's foreign trade politics, and the forces that have come about to make this transformation possible.
