Abstract: Many Japanese local governments introduced New Public Management (NPM) in the late 90s. After a decade of experiences, some municipalities have begun to distance themselves from the NPM-driven managerial style. There is, indeed, evidence of a shift from NPM to New Public Governance (NPG). So far, the examples are small in number, and do not necessarily confirm the theoretical framework of NPG, since the reasons of these shifts vary; however NPG is already a reality among local governments. The paper analyses the characteristics of Japanese public governance in the case of public service delivery in local governments and in the academic literature.
