In recent years, the fundamental web of relations between Japan and the US has remained strong, and government-to-government relations have continued to be productive. The personal relations between the leaders of the two nations are marked by shared concern for common problems. However, complaints from each shore of the Pacific can be heard. Americans maintain that Japan's market and business practices still hinder foreign competition. The trade disputes even produced an American hit-list of unfair trade practices on which Japan was listed as one of the major violators. On the other hand, the Japanese are convinced that the era of American stewardship over Japan has ended and Japan must emerge as a nation with a major role to play on the international scene. This volume reflects these sentiments and emphasizes the importance of the need to promote closer ties and greater understanding between the US and Japan.
