Everything Can Change in an Instant: Japan's tragic events reverberate

The situation in Japan warrants comment for so very many reasons. Beyond the tragic human and environmental tolls, which of course take precedence in concern, is the impact on intricately tied global supply chains. The three pieces in this Quarterly's edition look at supply chain issues as they relate to "cannibalization" and "convergence" in the market. While these pieces take note of some of the current developments in Japan, we ask that you read them with a recognition that the long term impacts from this epic disaster are still very much uncertain.
