Abstract
During the past thirty years in U.S.-Japan Automotive Trade,
the number of confrontations between U.s. and Japanese auto
manufacturers have increased tremendously over issues concerning
fair and free-trade. The disputes manifested in their relationship
are the products of political, economical and social differences
between the United States and Japan, which ultimately influence
decisions made on both sides pertaining to current trade policy
matters. These issues raise questions over the definition of free trade,
and if the government should play a role in maintaining the
health and survival of its nations automotive industry.
This paper addresses the primary issues that have, to this
date, kept the relationship from showing signs of improvement, and
examines the difficulties both countries have faced in making
concessions that could otherwise have helped to alleviate many of
U.S.-Japan automotive trade problems. This paper attempts to
explain the benefits both countries would receive if they adopted
a policy of mutual cooperation and gives suggestions on how to
proceed with trading strategies so that both countries can gain the
most benefit. Japan and the United States, through more
cooperative efforts, have the ability to find an acceptable
resolution to their trade problems, however, there have been
fundamental disparities on both sides that Japan and the United
States need to learn first before the relationship can be a
success.
