In considering Japan's future policies in the global context, it is crucial to discuss various relevant issues by inviting and incorporating opinions from around the world. This corner introduces the views of some of the world's leading researchers regarding various issues including economic policy, security and environmental problems.
The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) has entered into a partnership with VoxEU.org, a policy portal established by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), as a consortium member. Japanese consortium members now include RIETI and the Research Unit for Statistical and Empirical Analysis in Social Sciences (G-COE Hi-Stat). Under such cooperative relations, our selected columns will be reposted on VoxEU.org, and likewise those from VoxEU.org will be reposted in the Perspectives from Around the World feature section on the RIETI website.
