Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book examines several major reforms in Japan - in the postal business, transportation, telecommunications and technology - and evaluates the impact of these changes since the early 1980's. Conceptually, the book presents the dual state as being a fundamental feature of the Japanese political economy that determines government reform dynamics. |
