Abstract
Recent developments in Eastern Europe leave many open questions about the possible development paths and strategies of these countries. Japanese experience after the Second World War (WWII) and Japanese industrial policies adopted from 1945 to 1970, may be relevant to the policy makers in East European countries.1) This study aims at evaluating those Japanese experiences that could be useful in principle and are probably adaptable to East European countries.
Special researcher at the Federal Institute for Soviet and International Studies, Cologne, FRG. This paper was presented under the name of Nobuko Maeda (Mrs. Inagawa’s maiden name) at the workshop.
