Politicization of civil service Japanese-style
Japan's politico-bureaucratic relations were substantially reshaped during LDP Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's tenure of 2012–2020. Politicization of the civil service promptly progressed, making traditionally independent-minded bureaucrats visibly more submissive to politicians' commands. This decline of bureaucratic clout happened by design as the result of major institutional reforms promoted by reformers since the 1990s. This article analyzes the…
The Presidentialization of Japan's LDP Politics
This article examines the elevated status of the prime minister in the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) government through the lens of Poguntke and Webb's presidentialization thesis. There are two distinctive characteristics in the Japanese case. First, its presidentialization does not occur as the evolution of the Westminster model and instead follows a unique path. Second, the reinforced position of the Japanese premiership is in essence…
Institutional Conversion of Japan’s National Personnel Authority
The National Personnel Authority ( NPA ), Jinjiin in Japanese, was an unwelcome gift from the U.S. occupation ruler. It was fundamentally alien to Japanese bureaucratic traditions. It was a U.S. -style independent agency and aimed to remake the Japanese bureaucracy on the American model. This article analyzes the NPA ’s survival in the post-occupation era from the perspective of historical institutionalism. It argues that the NPA has been success…
A Big Bang for Japanese Mandarins? The Civil Service Reform of 2014
In 2014, the largest reform since the US postwar occupation was enacted in Japanese civil service. It was designed as the final step of the two-decade-long effort to restructure the “1955 System,” that is, the politico-administrative system developed under the Liberal Democratic Party’s hegemony. Its purpose was to remold Japan’s independent-minded bureaucrats into the elected officials’ obedient servants. Unfortunately, the reform is unlikely to…
Unattainable Mission? The Democratic Party of Japan's Unsuccessful Policymaking System Reform
In December 2012, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) fell from power after ruling the country for only three years. An important cause of the DPJ government's downfall concerned its failure in policymaking system reform. When it came to power in September 2009, the DPJ vowed to dissolve the policymaking system created under the lengthy dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party. It pledged to practice “Cabinet‐led policymaking” by strengthening t…
A Missing Piece in Japan's Political Reform
Since 2006, a major drive for reform of the Japanese bureaucracy’s personnel system has been continuing in order to enhance political control over bureaucrats. In spite of a bipartisan agreement on the reform’s vision, heightened party competition has suspended its actual implementation
Explaining Japan's Fragile Premierships in the Post-Koizumi Era
Grading Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi's Revolution
Prime Minister Koizumi succeeded in strengthening the prime minister's role in the LDP's policymaking, although he largely failed to undercut traditional bureaucratic strength. His success resulted not only from personal factors but also the structural changes occurring in LDP politics since the 1990s
