At the start of the 1990s Japan's post war economic success came to
an abrupt end, and the country slid into a decade long recession
from which it has, on many levels, still not recovered. This book
examines the institutional factors in the Japanese system of
government administration that have paralyzed the decision-making
process and prevented the system from accommodating the ever
changing demands on the domestic front and the global political
economy. It argues that the current model defies structural reform
and frustrates the implementation of economic and social policies
that can resolve the problems that have challenged the Japanese for
years.
Excerpts from interviews conducted with Japanese bureaucrats reveal
how their government views the United States, Japan's protector in
the Pacific and its second-largest trading partner. The interviews
are particularly relevant to the economic dilemma that the Japanese
are facing currently due to Japan's dependency on the United
States. They also provide an invaluable insight into why Japan has
yet to integrate into the international community.
