Synopsis :

Divided Sun is the story of the methods and machinations that have driven Japan's high tech industrial policies over the last two turbulent decades. It focuses on MITI and Japan's giant electronics firms in the context of the core of MITI's high tech strategy since the 1970s, the so-called 'cooperative' technology consortia. The author finds that despite widespread claims to the contrary, MITI's industrial policy in high technology has proved to be neither cooperative nor successful. He shows that the policymaking process is torn by conflict and competition: between MITI and other bureaucracies, between MITI and powerful Japanese companies, and between the different companies. MITI's task has become more difficult in the 1980s and 1990s as other Japanese ministries have blocked many of the new initiatives. The author argues that it will have to redefine itself to survive and carve out a new role in the Japanese political economy and the bureaucracy.
