| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigates the effects of the increase in imports, FDIs and migration, on the political voice of the Japanese industrial organizations after 1990s. By case studies, questionnaires and extensive interviews, this study reveals that the impact those organizations experienced pertains closely to the combination of increased international interactions in goods, capital, and labor within that industry. In general, transnational movement of goods and capital tended to enlarge the diversity of interests among their members, especially between large-scale and medium/small-scale businesses. This cleavage, in most cases, resulted in a debilitating concerted voice. A freer movement of cheaper labor force, on the contrary, affected manufacturers more uniformly regardless of their size, thereby reinforcing the unity of their organizations. However, the specific policy requests of these organizations differed considerably depending on minute idiosyncrasies of the commodity they handle.
