Vogel, Chair Professor John Zysman Professor T.J. Pempel Professor Stephen Cohen Fall 2010 Abstract Inside the Castle Gates: How Foreign Companies Navigate Japan‘s Policymaking Processes by Kenji Erik Kushida Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Multinational corporations (MNCs) are at the heart of today‘s global economy, but their effects on the politics of advanced industrialized countries have not been studied systematically. This dissertation analyzes the case of Japan, a country most likely to reveal foreign MNCs‘ influence. Japan developed for most of its history with an extremely low presence of foreign MNCs, but it experienced a dramatic influx from the mid-1990s, particularly in long-protected sectors at the core of its postwar development model of capitalism. The dissertation explains an observed divergence in the political strategies of foreign MNCs in Japan—disruptive challenges to existing policymaking processes and norms of government-business interactions, versus insider strategies, in which MNCs worked within established organizations and prevailing modes of policymaking.

  • Japan Policy Council First Recommendations: Energy Creation
    Japan Policy Council First Recommendations: Energy Creation The Japan Policy Council aims to create a grand design for Japan with an eye to the world and Asia for the next 10 years to come. The Council is officially established with this announcement of its first recommendations on the urgent issue of energy creation. The course of Japan cannot be found by merely looking at domestic issues. Japan must turn its eyes to the world, in which the rise of emerging countries and advances in information technology are transforming the political and economic landscape; Japan must adapt itself to this dynamic global trends. In order to flourish alongside the world, Japan must open its doors so it can assist other countries as well as to depend on them when needed: the country needs to stop working in isolation. Today, the debate on energy policy faces a stalemate between the protestors and supporters of nuclear power generation. Our recommendations are intended to move the discussions forward by presenting the following two perspectives. The first perspective is to expand the space axis by going beyond domestic issues. Since energy affects the foundation of a country and is closely tied to its industrial policies as well as diplomacy and national security, it must be examined from diverse angles, not only from the point of view of domestic power supply and disaster prevention. In particular, international coordination opens up many possibilities in expanding renewable energy. The second perspective is to acquire the time axis to avoid reaching premature conclusions. A society based on renewable energy cannot be built in a day.
