Japan's legal and political system is completely alien to its
history and culture, imposed on the Japanese people without their
involvement after the Second World War. A lifeless and
little-understood document based on a foreign value system, it has
been open to dangerous misinterpretation and abuse. Peter Herzog
examines the effects of this disastrous turn of events in his
carefully-researched and fascinating book, detailing instances
where this abuse has taken horrifying proportions in key areas of
Japanese public life. Indefensible decisions made by the courts on
issues such as the electroal system, education, freedom of workers,
have resulted in Japan being a democracy in name only. Scandals
involving collusion between politicians and big business which have
rocked the country, lavish overspending by local authorities on
prestige projects rather than desparately-needed public housing,
and key decision-making being in the hands of the non-accountable
bureacracy rather than politicians are just some of the results of
this state of affairs. The author's approach makes this book a
useful record and source of reference.
