Özet
Let us say from the outset that any Japanese dominated bloc after the fashion of the East Asia Co-Prosperity sphere is unlikely to develop in the near future. The Japanese economy is too interdependent globally. As Jeffrey Frankel writes in a recent essay, Japanese investment for the years 1985-1989 in Europe and North America shows a rise as dramatic as, if not more than, the Asian region(1). Similarly regarding trade, the Asian share of global trade, of which Japan constitutes a very substantial part, has grown even more than intra Asian trade for the years 1980-1989, impressive as the latter growth may have been(2). Such statistics suggests no trend towards Asian autarky, as the Co- Prosperity Sphere was. Nor do the present Japanese elite, and indeed the Japanese population, posses the will to effect political- military domination of the region. They realise the folly of Japan's militaristic past and are only too aware of the immense difficulties involved in such an undertaking. Moreover, the asquiescience of the Asian nations on the receiving end cannot be assumed. More politically aware and stronger than before the war, such nations will surely resist any such domination. Having said these, there are nevertheless many developments that could force a presently reluctant Japan to form an Asia-Pacific bloc(3) which may be something less than a modern Co-Prosperity Sphere but more integrated under Japanese leadership than at present.
