This book is about why and how central and local governments clash
over important national policy decisions. Its empirical focus is on
the local politics of Japan which has significantly shaped, and
been shaped by, larger developments in national politics. The book
argues that since the 1990s, changes in the national political
arena, fiscal and administrative decentralization, as well as
broader socio-economic developments have led to a decoupling of
once closely integrated national and local party systems in Japan.
Such decoupling has led to a breakdown of symbiotic relations
between the centre and regions. In its place are increasing strains
between national and local governments leading to greater
intra-party conflict, inter-governmental conflicts, and more chief
executives with agendas and resources increasingly autonomous of
the national ruling party. Although being a book primarily focused
on the Japanese case, the study seeks to contribute to a broader
understanding of how local partisans shape national policy-making.
The book theorizes and investigates how the degree of state
centralization, vertical integration for party organizations, and
partisan congruence in different levels of government affect
inter-governmental relations. Japan's experience is compared with
Germany, Canada, and the UK to explore sources of multi-level
policy conflict.
