Project Description: This project provides an in-depth analysis of Japan’s import/export dynamics, trade policies, and practices within the textile and apparel industry, focusing on how Japan balances trade liberalization with national interests. Key aspects include an exploration of Japan’s major trade agreements, such as the CPTPP and the Japan-EU EPA, which have opened up the Japanese market by reducing tariffs on various products while protecting sensitive sectors like rice. The project also examines Japan’s export strengths in high-tech sectors, particularly automobiles and semiconductors, and the country’s strategic controls on critical technologies to safeguard national security. Additionally, it highlights Japan’s role in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), which aims to strengthen regional supply chain resilience and promote sustainable economic practices. Through this analysis, the project aims to illustrate how Japan’s trade policies and practices shape its position in the global economy and respond to modern economic challenges.
