Cet article porte sur l'explication du succès économique du Japon après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et sur l'interprétation des frictions commerciales récentes entre le Japon et les États-Unis. Il est divisé en trois parties. La première porte sur l'explication donnée par des auteurs, que l'on a appelés les révisionnistes, du succès japonais depuis 1945. Cette explication se fonde sur une conception de la société japonaise comme différente des sociétés occidentales, en particulier dans ses arrangements institutionnels et dans sa politique industrielle. La seconde comprend un examen des postulats théoriques sous-jacents à l'explication révisionniste. La troisième présente les bases d'une interprétation différente du succès japonais, interprétation plus complexe qui tient compte, en plus de la politique industrielle et des arrangements institutionnels, de la culture, des relations internationales et de la conjoncture historique. This article deals with the interpretation of Japan's postwar economic success and of Japan-USA trade frictions and is divided in three sections. The first is an examination of the position of the so-called revisionists on Japan's economic success and USA-Japan trade frictions. The revisionnists explain these points by reference to Japan's peculiar institutional arrangements or to a special kind of industrial policy. In the second, there is an examination of the theoretical assumptions on which revisionist explanations are based. The third is a presentation of basic elements of another, more complex interpretation of Japan's success, that takes into account industrial policy, institutional arrangements, culture, international relations and historical conjoncture.

On the one hand, it can allow a transfer of labour from the public sector to the business sector at unchanged educational output. On the other, it can enhance educational output and productivity of the future labour force at unchanged public employment and expenditures. The paper argues that, in most cases, efficiency gains...
