Chinese and Japanese Capitalisms
This article investigates the divergent automobile electrification trajectories of China and Japan, the world’s largest car exporters. Inspired by Regulation Theory approaches, it analyses how their capitalisms’ distinct configurations of socio-economic institutions, including state–economic relations, labour relations, inter-firm competition, financial regimes and the integration into the global economy, have produced different electrification a…
Patient capital, corporate governance and investment in digital innovation
Social norms and (de-)financialization
Since the 1980s, American-led financialization promoting capital and labour mobility has influenced Asia, but the Japanese and Chinese trajectories in financialization of consumption (consumer credit development) have diverged, with the 1995–2013 contraction in Japan contrasting with the skyrocketing growth in China since 2010. I argue the divergence can be attributed to the varying levels of compatibility between American financial norms and the…
Industrial associations as ideational platforms
Significant wage and treatment differentials between regular workers in long-term employment and precarious non-regular workers have been a major political issue in Japan since the mid-1990s.

Moody's and Standard & Poor's, the major American credit rating agencies, were expected to outcompete and overwhelm the local agencies in Japan during the 1990s. The local Japanese rating agencies were widely understood to be compromised by their links to government and banks. Why have the influences of the American agencies in Japan diminished, while the local Japanese agencies survived? We emphasise the concept of ‘systemic support’ as a soluti…
