description: In this study, Mulgan analyzes the reasons why, despite broad public support, Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi has not achieved the sweeping economic reforms he first proposed in April of 2001. She explains how Japan's traditional policymaking process has thwarted the Prime Minister's best intentions and contends that revolutionary political change is necessary before Japan's economic recovery can begin. Mulgan teaches at the U. of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy. Distributed in the U.S. by ISBS. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
