Chapter 1 in Special Corporations and the Bureaucracy, 2003, pp 1-13 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book reveals how the Japanese ministries can exploit special corporations in order to intensify their administrative power over industries and local governments, and to perpetuate the interests of elite civil servants by facilitating the migration to post-retirement positions in the private sector. The book explains why the existence of these organizations frustrates Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s efforts to initiate structural reforms.
