	JPRI Occasional Paper No. 16
		Like Taiwan, Okinawa was a poor, largely plantation-based economy dominated by the Japanese "homeland." But unlike Taiwan, which since the war has developed in spectacular fashion into one of the world's largest trading powers, Okinawa remains mired in a state of chronic economic stagnation, high unemployment, and lagging income growth.
		Part of the reason for Okinawa's continuing underdevelopment is the U.S. military presence, which has preempted much of the island's usable land and infrastructure, physically obstructing some potential development initiatives, and imposing a myriad of social and environmental burdens on the islanders.
		Companies operating in Okinawa would be able to deduct up to 50 percent of their investment from corporate taxes over the years, and their corporate tax rate would be cut from 37.5 percent to 30.0 percent.

	JPRI Occasional Paper No. 24
		Okinawa is a culturally-distinct territory that Japan forcibly annexed to its empire late in the nineteenth century-- a Japanese version of Puerto Rico or Hawaii.
		During the years 2000 and 2001 the governor of Okinawa, Keiichi Inamine, repeatedly warned the local U.S. military commanders that they were camped on the side of a rumbling volcano-- his way of saying that the island's people seethe with hatred for their uninvited foreign guests.
		Okinawa still had the lowest per capita income and the highest unemployment rate (4.4 percent in 1989) in the nation, and it had no control over how it used its resources, protected its environment, or planned for its future.
