Abstract

By looking into the economic policies of post-war Japan and post-reform China two state-led economies famous for its protectionism, this chapter reveals the role of globalization in their economic development and the fact that nationalism is the motivational force behind the global strategies of both economies. Drawing on historical archives and secondary analysis, the author argues that state-led economies would favour globalization when the global market favours them and that there is no logical dilemma between nationalism and globalization.
