Industrial agglomerations and the relationship between regional economies and small and medium-sized enterprises have been drawing increasingly keen attention as research subjects in recent years. There is an array of reasons why studies on industrial agglomeration and regional economies have come into the spotlight. These include the following. (1) Various problems having been caused by the 20th century production system of mass production and mass consumption, (i. e., Fordism), the academic search for an alternative production system is under way. "Flexible specialization, " an organic, yet flexible system of the division of labor among specialized small businesses, is one possible solution that has been presented. (2) From the standpoint of policy development, many regional economies in Japan, though not all, have been considerably battered since the collapse of the bubble economy, and there is a call for studies which address this issue. At present, Japanese industry, academia and government are rallying a great amount of expertise to cope with this problem.It is good for the advancement of learning that many researchers take an interest in this issue and enter the field of industrial agglomeration and regional economy research. However, we also have a situation where the subjects and targets of study have not been sufficiently defined, with many researchers of varied academic backgrounds abruptly converging on this issue and seeking hasty solutions to problems without fully examining the accumulation of past research or logically defining the problems and ideas involved.This paper focuses on the history of government policies developed by the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the present Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) concerning regional industries and small and medium-sized businesses, as well as the policy measures presently in place. It further attempts to present a few points for discussion on these policies in order to highlight the issues that need to be addressed.
