Identity, policy ideas, and Asian diplomacy: Japan’s response to the rise of China
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu 한국외국어대학교 국제지역연구센터 2012 International Area Studies Review Vol.15 No.4
This article examines Japan’s diplomatic efforts to retain regional influences in evolving regional environments represented by the Chinese ascendancy. It regards identity as a key variable that constitutes the base for Japan’s policy ideas, and examines the formation, application and limitations of specific policy ideas that derived from Japan’s identity in the political and economic domains. The main argument of this article is three-fold. First, the Japanese government formulated specific policy ideas – value-oriented diplomacy and Japan-tailored standards – on the basis of identities as a democratic nation and a mature market economy. Second, the Japanese government incorporated such policy ideas into diplomatic strategies and sought to realize them mainly through the creation of cooperative institutions. Third, domestic political instability and the limited validity of policy ideas constitute serious constraints on arresting further decline in Japan’s influence in Asia.
Global Competition and Technology Standards: Japan's Quest for Techno-Regionalism
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu 동아시아연구원 2007 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.7 No.3
This article examines Japans evolving commitments to technology development and technology diffusion in Asia. It explores Japans technology strategies in three areas internet protocol, open source software, and horology focusing on the importance of technology standards. The development and diffusion of technology standards have become one of the core elements in establishing industrial competitiveness. The importance of technology standards encouraged the Japanese government and firms to pursue a regional policy to develop and diffuse new technological ideas and standards in Asia. Japans commitments were accepted by its neighbours because they could obtain various benefits from collaboration with Japan such as technological exchanges, technology transfer and financial aid.
Sino-Japanese Energy Relations: Processes and Constraints
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu 서울대학교행정대학원 2012 Asian Journal of Political Science Vol.20 No.2
Economic growth and a resultant rise in energy demand in China and other East Asiancountries have attracted academic interests in energy security and energy cooperation. This article examines the nuanced development of institutions to realise Sino-Japaneseenergy cooperation at the bilateral and regional levels. It highlights the objective andprocess of cooperative engagements in terms of relative gain concern and the involvementof non-state actors. The arguments that this article advances are three-fold. First, theJapanese government has pushed forwards multilateral energy cooperation in East Asiaand bilateral cooperation for energy conservation with China, which would produce botheconomic and political gains. Second, the Chinese government has adopted a cautiousapproach to Japan’s energy engagements largely because it took into account the relativepolitical gains of committing to such engagements in addition to the economic gainsproduced by them. Third, the involvement of non-state actors in cooperative projects andtheir meaningful roles in forging cross-border linkages could play a catalytic role inadvancing cooperative processes.
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu 연세대학교 동서문제연구원 2000 Global economic review Vol.29 No.2
This article explores the role of the state in industrial transformation in the era of economic globalization. It argues that economic globalization and market liberalization have not necessarily led to the retreat of state capacity in industrial development. Given the rising importance of multinational corporations (MNCs) as promoters of international transactions and domestic industrialization, even developing countries are required to show capacity to promote industrial development in cooperation with foreign MNCs. The argument is examined with the case studies of the automobile industry in Thailand and the telecommunications industry in Malaysia.
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu 서울대학교행정대학원 2010 Asian Journal of Political Science Vol.18 No.3
After the early 1990s, the wave of regionalism covered broader areas in the world, andNortheast Asia, which had weak regional cohesion largely due to history-orientedanimosity, gradually developed initiatives for regional cooperation since the late 1990s. This article seeks to address why and how China, Japan, and South Korea have pursuedregional cooperation by relying on the concept of ‘regional governance’. It advances twoarguments. First, the governments of China, Japan, and South Korea have identified theavoidance of risk from uncertainty as a major objective of promoting trilateralcooperation in specific functional areas. Second, they have gradually intensified theharmonisation of regulatory frameworks in the cooperative process in collaboration withnon-state actors. The article examines the arguments by tracing the evolution oftrilateral cooperation in environmental protection and information technology (IT)development.
