Abstract

Japan is in the process of developing much closer economic ties with its Asian neighbours, at both the government and private-sector levels.

Alors qu'il y a peu de soutien officiel à la création d'un système d'intégration régional formel, des signes évidents montrent que le Japon est le principal initiateur de ce qui peut être considéré comme une régionalisation souple. La participation accrue du Japon dans les autres pays d'Asie se manifeste par une augmentation sensible de l'investissement direct accompagnée d'un afflux important d'aide officielle qui sert à mettre en place l'infrastructure nécessaire à cet investissement. L'évolution des échanges régionaux vers le Japon a été moins marquée mais ceci peut changer au cours des années 90.Les pays en développement d'Asie ont bien accueilli l'accentuation rapide de cette présence japonaise dans leurs économies et ils feraient preuve d'inconscience s'ils voulaient limiter cet afflux de capitaux étrangers et d'investissement ...
