Abstract
Nearly fifty years have passed since the conclusion of the San Francisco peace treaty that officially ended Japan’s war in Asia and the Pacific against the United States and its allies. Japan started its reentry into the international community, nurtured under U.S. military protection due to the Cold War circumstance but suspended from repairing its relations with communist Asia. “Following the U.S. lead” has characterized the image of Japan’s foreign policy since then. Meanwhile, Japan’s relations with noncommunist Southeast Asia grew with U.S. endorsement, and the 1980s and 1990s witnessed the emergence of the so-called “tiger economies,” whose per capita GNP rapidly narrowed the gap with the OECD countries. Although they did so to various degrees, Japanese investments in all these countries made significant contributions to economic development.
