In Japan, the main local administrative affairs are traditionally
allotted to prefectures and municipalities, while communal disposal
systems, fire-fighting and regional development takes secondary
importance. However, two new changes to the frame of local
governments have altered the main frameworks of national and
provincial governance. With decentralization reforms taking effect,
more local bodies are gaining autonomy and departing from
uniformity. This has allowed methods of cooperation between
governing bodies to diversify- trends which augur a dissolution of
uniformity in Japanese local administration. If left alone, it may
eventually lead to disparities between principal and peripheral
bodies, and thus complicate the administrative systems further. How
will these changes affect future community development? This book
aims to address the dynamism of concepts of wide area public
service in Japan. It advocates the use of flexible strategies to
ensure service standards are best suited to each regional demand.
This concept can be called "departure from uniformity". This book
also examines the advantages and disadvantages of these shifts for
the future of Japanese public policy, and suggests various
strategies to prevent further complications; e.g. autonomous
settlement zone. Regional Administration in Japan: Departure from
uniformity will interest researchers of Japanese public policy and
public administration. This book will also engage researchers of
Japanese politics and Japanese studies in general.
