The Global Financial Crisis, State Regime Shifts, and Urban Theory
There is no abstract for this paper
Financial Crises, Japan's State Regime Shift, and Tokyo's Urban Policy
The 2008 global financial crisis, a major crisis in the history of capitalist development, has called for drastic state activism and market regulation and may lead to state regime shift in many parts of the world. Relying upon John Maynard Keynes's crisis theory, that slumps were always possible in a market system left to itself, and that there was therefore a continuous role for government in ensuring that they did not happen, I look at the case…
The zero waste city
This paper examines efforts to remake Tokyo, the world's largest megalopolis, into an ecologically sustainable city. The analysis is framed by two visions: a general model of eco-effectiveness derived from industrial ecology and an empirically grounded conception of a zero waste city rooted in the lean production practices of Japanese firms and extended beyond the firm to the city by government policies. We specifically focus on Tokyo Metropolita…

The Nested City
Neo-industrial Tokyo
This paper analyses the relation between Tokyo and globalisation in the framework of regulation theory and attempts to draw theoretical implications for Tokyo's current urban development. Regulation theorists contend that globalisation, particularly global capital and finance mobility, has led to the crisis of regulatory institutions that sustained the post-war Fordist growth regime and that the new finance-market-centred growth regime emerging o…
Asian Crisis, Financial Systems and Urban Development
The Asian financial crisis, which violently thwarted the east Asian miracle in the summer of 1997, has subsequently led east Asia to the building of a new financial architecture. This paper argues that the new financial architecture, modelled after the globally influential, market-centred US system, clashes with Japan's regionally active, state-centred financial system. And it explores the implications of these two financial systems for urban dev…
State Restructuring and Local Power in Japan
Western understanding of the post-war evolution of states in advanced capitalist societies envisions a moment of fundamental transition beginning in the mid 1970s and indexed by reduced government spending, the privatisation of public services and increased inequality among local governments. Regulation theory sees the process as a transition from a Keynesian welfare state to a Schumpeterian workfare state necessitated by the shift from a Fordist…
Rejoinder to Shapira
Osaka's Asia Linkages Strategy
Foreign direct investment by Osaka's manufacturing firms has not boomeranged to hollow out the city's industrial base or stifled development opportunities in recipient countries. Osaka development officials assume transfer of capital and technology overseas should be connected to a strategy of industrial upgrading at home. Osaka's industrial strategies target the problems facing small and medium-sized producers and are couched within more encompa…

A World City and Flexible Specialization
Women workers and flexible specialization
Restructuring in flexible specializtion in the post-yen-shock era (since 1985) has created new and different employment opportunities for women in Tokyo and has led to a more flexible use of women workers so that corporaions can maintain flexibility (e.g. in developing new products and dversifying businesses) for quicker response to market changes or for the creation of new market demand. This paper explores effects of restructuring on the female…
Women workers, state policy, and the international division of labor
The world economy has gone through a major transformation in the past two decades, involving both a new direction in global capital accumulation and a restructuring of the international division of labor. Key factors in these changes have been the development and application of new information generating and processing technologies and telecommunications, along with state economic policies that have been altered in response to these technologies …
