Abstract: Abstract The United States’ abiding military presence in Japan and its open markets to Japanese exports during Japan’s post-war years has played a fundamental role in keeping the Japan system intact and the bureaucracy in the seat of power. By the time Japan had achieved the third highest GDP in the world in 1970 (behind the United States and the Soviet Union respectively), the old-style bureaucracy and an ultra-conservative political system was firmly entrenched.
