`Especially timely ... a thorough study of Japanese regulation of
business by means of trade laws and competition or anti-monopoly
laws ... provides a valuable chapter on the legal framework of
foreign trade and investment.'
International Corporate Law
`easy to read and comprehensive in its analysis of trade and
competition law ... The considerable reference to other works in
the sub-notes was also a clear indication as to the depth of
research that the writer had undertaken'
Japan Contact
`very useful book ... the book is easy to read and is likely to be
of great interest to someone seeking an introduction to the legal
and regulatory framework applicable to business in Japan'
International Company and Commercial Law Review
`This book ... meets a need for a clear introduction for both
practising and academic lawyers to the principles of both Japanese
trade and competition law. It deserves to be widely read on Law
School courses in these areas: it will undoubtedly be widely used
by practitioners ... works like Professor Matsushita's will be
invaluable for English speaking lawyers in understanding how a
different busines environment determines different responses to the
same
problems.'
Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly
`This book can easily be recommended to scholars of comparative law
and economics, and industrial organization. It is definitely a must
for everyone who claims that Japan functions just like the US.'
The Journal of Asian Studies
`'Beyond the immediate practical value of this book to those
working in Japanese trade law, or interested in contrasting legal
systems, it is also to be recommended to anyone with a passing
interest in the political minefield of international trade
negotiations. The most striking factor to emerge from this
interesting little volume is the regulatory and political nature of
much of Japanese international trade and competition law...this
book tells us much
not only about Japanese law, but gives a refreshingly alternative
view of international trade and competition law worldwide.''
