Synopsis

This volume analyses the way in which the Japanese civil service has contributed to Japan's phenomenally successful economic growth and the lessons that experience may offer for other developing countries. It provides much new information about the structures, functioning, and policymaking activities of the Japanese civil service. In its analysis, emphasises the degree of competitiveness within the Japanese bureaucracy, the extent to which political authority is wielded rather than formal power, and the way in which government policy has encouraged rather that inhibited market forces.

Revue de presse

This is a remarkable book. It brings together many of the leading Japanese and American political scientists working on Japan ... there are lessons to be learned from the Japanese experience, positive and negative, and this is probably the best collection of essays available to tease them out.
