The recent history of ASEAN-Japan relations has been marked by a degree of ambivalence. As the first Asian nation to industrialize successfully and to have risen as a phoenix from the ashes of war-time destruction to the leading heights of industrial and technology power, Japan has always been regarded with a degree of awe and admiration by its southern neighbours. On the other hand, Japan's economic expansion is increasingly felt in the ASEAN region. This study reviews industrial restructuring and adjustment in Japan and five ASEAN countries at different phases of economic development from the perspective of changing comparative advantages in the respective countries and in the context of a changing world economy.

This book provides an interesting insight into issues of migration and diversity in Asia, focusing on different scales, and incorporating everyday experiences through in depth analyses of different case studies. In drawing on a range of academic disciplines, and in utilizing numerous methodological approaches, the chapters within the book also demonstrate a breadth and depth of knowledge, thereby contributing not only to migration literature in the region, but migration literature more broadly, subsequently offering a complex negotiation of the different pathways of migration research and beyond. In focusing on migration as both historical legacy and contemporary issue, the chapters within the book bring new light to migration research, demonstrating the inherent importance of looking back in order to look forwards, and drawing together the global and the local through a process of 'glocalization' (Massey, 1991) which is seldom discussed in such detail; the contributions of this book, then, are multiple, and demonstrate a move forward in migration action research that draws together the state, the people, and everyday experience to investigate issues within migration and diversity in light of contemporary globalization and increased interconnectivity in the world today
