The Japan-U.S. Trade Friction Dilemma: The Role of Perception

By Karen M. Holgerson

This is an examination of the trade friction and relations between the United States and Japan, and how the differences of language, customs, culture and economic systems help perpetuate this political-economic friction. The book aims to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of the subject. It draws on research from anthropologists, intercultural communication researchers, linguists, sociologists and social psychologists as well as that of political scientists and economists. Each area offers material for impressionistic essays on Japan/US cultural and institutional differences.
