The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how Japan's Pacific War reparations toward Asian nations, namely Indonesia and Philippines, were implemented and what their influences were like. The reparations were implemented for the purpose of Japan's reentry into the Asian market, which serves Japan as an important provider of business opportunities as well as natural resources. The method of service reparation was introduced by the US in order to minimize Japan's burden of war compensations against Asian victims. By introducing service reparation, Japan could maximize its business opportunities in these nations at the same time. In Japan's service reparation framework, only Japanese companies could participate in business or project opportunities held in respective Asian nations; furthermore, payments were guaranteed and implemented directly by Japanese government. These meant that the size of Japan's war reparations was equal to the revenue of Japanese companies working in Asia. In short, Japan itself became the largest beneficiary of the reparations. This framework was quite similar to the Great East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere, in which each Asian nation play a role of natural resources provider and subordinated market. Japan did not rule the nations after the Pacific War; however, mutual economic relations between Japan and respective Asian nations virtually did not change. This can be understood as one of the side effects of Japan's service reparations. Another side effect was that many of reparation business opportunities became media of bribery between political leaders of Asian nations and Japanese businesses. As a result, it became difficult to say that Japan's war reparation certainly contributed to nation buildings of respective Asian nations.
