Japan's Tougher New Antimonopoly Law: Why It Passed and How It Will Change Japan

2005年5月23日 / 6.30 P.M.

Mark Tilton, Associate Professor, Purdue University

 Last month the Diet passed a remarkable revision to the Antimonopoly Law that increases penalties and gives new powers to the Japan Fair Trade Commission.  Perhaps the most significant feature of the revisions is that the impetus for them came from within the LDP.  The lecture will discuss the politics behind the new reforms and consider their likely impact on the economy, with reference to two industry case studies, steel and telecommunications.
