OverviewJapanese overseas investment in real estate has been little analyzed, until now, despite its economic scale and political impact. This unique book explores the political economy of Japanes foreign direct investment in real estate in the United States, Australia and other countries from the mid-1980s onwards. In the period between 1985 and 1994, there was a remarkable rise and decline in Japanese real estate investment abroad. The author explains that this experience was important because real estate investment became a focal point of international tension betwen Japan and other countries. What this book achieves is an understanding of the speed of the advance and the retreat of Japanese real estate FDI. The author explains its principal causes as well as its impact on host economies and communities. It should be an important new reference source for political economists and international business scholars as well as for scholars of Japanese studies.

It is an indispensable source of information and insights for diligent students of the subject.' -- Masahiro Igarashi, Transnational Corporations 'Farrell deepens our understanding by presenting well-organized empirical research.' -- Mariko Fujii, Journal of Japanese Studies 'This is essential reading for understanding the phenomenon of the bubble economy . Roger Farrell reveals all about the motivations, strategies and trends in Japanese real estate investment during the investment boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He cuts through the hype and gets to the essence of the problem: an absence of strategy and control, and lack of experience on the part of the investors, loose regulatory environments and the openness of the key target markets. It is a cautionary tale, well told.' -- Alan Rix, University of Queensland, Australia 'Farrell's is the first comprehensive study... It provides a detailed record of what happened and the costs of what happened. It will be invaluable to those in the business and also to those trying to understand Japan's economic policy problems and challenges today.' -- Peter Drysdale, Australian National University, Australia Author InformationRoger Farrell, Centre Associate, Australia–Japan Research Centre, College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
