We find that transnational marriage has an extremely high risk of divorce within the f…

This study argues, however, that their institutional structures and underlying dynamics of dualization are more different than they appear, where the subcontracting relations between big businesses and their suppliers come into play. The co‐operative interfirm relations in Japan become a bu…
