Abstract
As one of the Third World countries that was colonized by the industrialized countries and later developed a natural resource and single crop dominated economy, Papua New Guinea has experienced the paradox that on the one hand, it was directed to capitalist development and, on the other hand, it remains underdeveloped. Its substantive traditional economy of self-sufficiency supports the majority of the people. Although Papua New Guinea is not representative of a dependent satellite country per se, the relationship between PNG and Japan reflects the centre-peripheral feature of the international relations in the modern world.
