Japanese‐U.S. Alliances: Resolving Economic Conflict

Abstract

Japanese businesspeople, especially those trained in the United States, are incredulous to discover that U.S. public opinion now compares the threat of Japanese acquisitions to that of the Soviet military. And since Japanese acquisitions are expanding while the Soviet military is contracting, fear of Japan is increasingly a media‐hyped, all‐American worry along with drugs, crime, and too many taxes. Even the hit motion picture Back to the Future II portrayed the hero's future character as working for and being fired by a ruthless, humorless Japanese manager.
