This study examines the paradigm shift of Japan’s technonationalism from a developmentalism-oriented inward-looking industrial policy to a security-oriented geostrategy involving multi-state collaboration with like-minded states. Using case studies of Elpida Memory and TSMC investment in Kumamoto, this research highlights how Japan has adapted its technonationalist approach to address contemporary challenges in the international political economy while ensuring its security alliance with the United States.KEYWORDS: Japansemiconductor industrytechnonationalismgeoeconomicseconomic statecrafthigh-tech industry Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Hitachi Global Foundation: [Grant Number 1475].Notes on contributorsSeohee Ashley ParkSeohee Ashley Park is a doctoral candidate at Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan) and concurrently serves as a lecturer at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (Beppu, Japan), where she has been instructing classes on international relations since the academic year of 2022.
