Sébastien Lechevalier is an economist, professor at EHESS, he specializes in Asian capitalism.
He is also the founder and president of the France-Japan Foundation of EHESS (FFJ) and recently joined the Canon Institute for Global Studies (CIGS) as an International Senior Fellow. In his book, The Great Transformation of Japanese Capitalism (Routledge, 2014) he poses an alternative analysis of the Japanese economic trajectory since the early 1980s, and argues that while policies inspired by neoliberalism have been presented as a solution to the Japanese crisis, these policies have in fact been one of the causes of the problems that Japan has faced over the past thirty years.
Based on the experience gained by studying the case of the Japanese economy, he wishes to extend his research to other forms of capitalism in Asia from a comparative perspective with Europe.
