Japan's Paralysis: Causes and Consequences for the World Economy - a Role for Europe, by Jean-Pierre Lehmann
Japan's current disastrous economie, political, social and moral situation appears to be beyond control by the political class and the country as a whole. Japan is suffering from having lived amid myths and untruths about its past. It is also suffering from obsolete structures centered on the "iron triangle" (DLP, senior administration and industry) which controls the country's entire life. Now although this triangle is splitting up, it is not being replaced by another type of power. This is particularly harmful for Japan because it is missing out on the communication and globalization revolutions. It therefore seems possible for reforms and an opening-up to be driven only from outside - notably from Europe - in order to counterbalance the predominant influence of the United States.
