Changes in Economic Relations between Japan and Korea (2018_2_40_003)
Outline
In recent years, trade and investment between Japan and South Korea has been stagnating or declining. It is thought that economic relations between these two countries have been changing from a conventional vertical division of labor to harsh competition. This suggests that Korea's industrial competitiveness has improved as a whole, including materials, parts, and machinery, which have been considered as weak points in the past. On the other hand, new moves toward a horizontal division of labor are beginning to appear. This study analyzes the recent changes in Japan-Korea economic relations and the factors therein, thereby clarifying Korea's industrial competitiveness and its challenges, and aiming to explore the possibility of new Japan-Korea economic cooperation.
