Banking on Multinationals

Mireya Solís is an Assistant Professor at the School of International Service of American University.

"Solis has made an important contribution to our understanding of the global expansion of Japanese MNCs, and the role of the Japanese state in facilitating this process. I highly recommend this book to scholars and graduate students studying the political economy of Japan." - Japanese Journal of Political Science "Overall, this book is an original and distinctive interpretation of Japan's FDI, and makes an important contribution to the literature eon FDI and Japan's industrial policy." - Pacific Affairs "Solis effectively uses a study of Japanese policy on export financing to investigate the interaction among bureaucratic policy goals, political realities, and corporate strategic objectives... She has given us a look inside the interaction of policymaking, political process, and industry competition that should be read by anyone interested in the adjustment process in the Japanese political and economic system." - Journal of Japanese Studies "Banking on Multiracials is a well documented analysis of the Japanese government's support for some Japanese industries' investments. The author demonstrates beyond quibble tht the government used public funds for the purposes of gaining access to resources such as cotton and aluminum and of aiding industries in decline." - Journal of Asian Business
