The changes taking place in Eastern Europe and Asia are a particular challenge for Japan and Germany. As the immediate neighbours, they are both affected by the economic and social transformations in these regions. Yet, since they are strong economic powers, they have the potential necessary to influence developments, such that Eastern Europe and Asia advance to reciprocal advantage. This volume looks into a wide range of possible supportive measures as far as capital, labour and regulatory systems are concerned, with reference to the specific economic and historic features of Japan and Germany, taking into account the current weakness of the American dollar and the costs of reunification.
