Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri) and the Canon Institute for Global Studies (CIGS) are launching a series of policy papers presenting the analyses of CIGS senior researchers on how the triple disasters that hit the archipelago last March have impacted Japan's economic, environmental and energy policies as well as country's crisis management system. This first paper deals with a number of the economic challenges that have arisen following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis, and considers the direction that future economic policies in Japan should take.
