具体的には、①　第１章において、国際経済の動向を概観した上で、国際的な経常収支不均衡の拡大や原油価格上昇に伴う新たなオイルマネーの動向の分析等を通じて、国際資本移動の活発化を中心とした経済のグローバル化の姿を描き、②　第２章において、アジアのダイナミズムを概観した上で、日本企業による国際事業ネットワーク形成が分業面・貿易面において、いわば「水平的」なアジアを創出しつつある状況をミクロからマクロにわたる複層的な視点から分析するとともに、国際事業ネットワーク形成に際して重要な進出先となっている中国とASEANの状況を分析し、③　第３章において、以上の調査分析を踏まえて、企業活動の場（フィールド）の自由化・調和・安定化と事業拠点間を結ぶ「ビジネスコスト距離」の短縮等を通じた国際事業環境整備の推進、生産性向上を伴う我が国への対内直接投資の拡大、人的資本の育成・活用、「複線的」構造に立脚した「投資立国」の実現、という４つの取組について論じた。例文帳に追加

Concretely, the following analyses and discussions are made in the White Paper. (1) In Chapter 1, the globalization of the economy, mainly by increased international capital movement, was described by surveying the trend in the international economy and analyzing the expansion of international current account imbalances, together with the new trend in petromoney caused by higher crude oil prices. (2) In Chapter 2, after surveying the dynamism of Asia, an analysis was made from multilayered points of view, including macro and micro perspectives on the formation of international business networks by Japanese companies, which are creating a “horizontal” Asia in terms of both division of labor and trade. Conditions in China and ASEAN, which have become important business partners in the process of the formation of international business networks, were also analyzed. (3) Based upon the results of these researches and analyses, in Chapter 3, discussions were made about four issues: promoting the improvement of the international business environment through the liberalization, harmonization and stabilization of fields for corporate activities; shortening “business cost distance” between business bases; expanding inward direct investment in Japan which will be accompanied by improved productivity, and realizing an “investment powerhouse” through fostering and utilizing human resources with a “dual-track” structure. - 経済産業省
