Abstract
Following the Great East Japan
Earthquake (GEJE), the government of Japan responded
promptly to stabilize markets and ensure a swift recovery.
Economic activity has since started picking up, in part to
domestic demand driven by the massive reconstruction effort.
Uncertainties remain, however, surrounding the restructuring
of power supply and both national and global economic
prospects. The year 2011 will be remembered for the severe
challenges to the global supply chain posed by the GEJE and
the Thai flood. As an important part of the networked
production system, developing countries must share
responsibility in making the supply chain more resilient
under international cooperation. This report gives findings;
global supply chains; lessons; and recommendations for
developing countries.
