EXAMINING JAPANESE CITY-REGIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE ASIAN ECONOMIC CRISIS

EXAMINING JAPANESE CITY-REGIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE ASIAN ECONOMIC CRISIS Abstract Economic globalization of a city-region is recognizable as a combination of at least two dimensions of change, i.e., (1) transnationalization of goods producing/trading activities and (2) transnational movement of money and capital. The two dimensions interrelate in a reciprocal and complementary way for a time, but contradict each other in another time. Major cities in Japan such as Tokyo and Osaka fell into economic decline in the mid-1990s. This crisis, a precedent of the East Asian economic crisis in 1997, can be explained as a result of the contradiction between the two-dimensions of globalization. The two dimensional model could be applied for understanding the nature and mechanism of economic crisis in the rest of East Asian counties as well. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Geographer Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract Economic globalization of a city-region is recognizable as a combination of at least two dimensions of change, i.e., (1) transnationalization of goods producing/trading activities and (2) transnational movement of money and capital. The two dimensions interrelate in a reciprocal and complementary way for a time, but contradict each other in another time. Major cities in Japan such as Tokyo and Osaka fell into economic decline in the mid-1990s. This crisis, a precedent of the East Asian economic crisis in 1997, can be explained as a result of the contradiction between the two-dimensions of globalization. The two dimensional model could be applied for understanding the nature and mechanism of economic crisis in the rest of East Asian counties as well.
