Sri Lanka Mission Report
(Oct. 2017) GRIPS Development Forum
and Policy Study & Research Center (Ethiopia) conducted joint research on Sri
Lankan industries as an input to Ethiopia-Japan Industrial Policy Dialogue.
Sri Lanka is a middle income nation with income per head of $4,000. Apparel
is the leading export sector where a few local producers dominate. They can
satisfy strict labor and environmental standards demanded by Western
consumers, and export high-end garments such as ladies' underwear to US and
EU markets. Many Sri Lankan apparel makers are moving to Ethiopia to cope
with labor shortage at home and benefit from the trade privileges Africa
enjoys with the US and EU.

Economic Development: Origins of Private Dynamism and Policy Competence, K.
Ohno's new textbook, has been published from Routledge. This is a
thoroughly revised edition of the 2006 textbook written for a GRIPS course.
The old version was so popular it was translated into six languages besides
English. The book discusses the Japanese economy from the Edo period to Abenomic s with special attention on public-private interaction, absorption
of foreign elements and socio-political
conditions. It introduces academic research and debates yet the writing is
plain and simple. The book is suitable for both serious researchers and new
comers to Japanese history.
