By seizing opportunities in new markets, firms can create jobs and help boost the country’s competitiveness in the global economy. Brookings analyses on the export sector explore these goals and what can be done to achieve them at the federal, state and regional levels.

There's been this desire to not add fuel to the fire, and [for Japan] to have stable relations with China. I think everybody understands what tragic consequences could arise from using a very nationalist rhetoric that would be quite self-defeating. April 5, 2013, Mireya Solís, Council on Foreign Relations

In a country [like Japan] where pork barrel projects have been rampant, infrastructure projects that seek to cater to the needs of construction companies have been a very common fact of political life.

What makes me more hopeful is that I see a positive convergence between the domestic efforts, the economic strategy, and what's been going on in the trade front.
