An examination of the Bush Administration's market access priority selection to Japan is presented. Issues studied includes both selected and rejected candidate practices by the administration.

In general, US trade policy must still improve in its unilateral, bilateral and multilateral initiatives.

Article Abstract:

The disparity is partially the result of Japan's improper international coordination of macroeconomic policies. Trade conflict between the two countries has been associated primarily with the closed Japanese economy, which is conditioned by government regulation and intervention, private behavior in terms of environmental adaptation and Japanese public perception.
