Description: This book examines several major reforms in Japan--in the postal business, transportation, telecommunications, and communications technology--and evaluates the effectiveness of these efforts in major issue areas since the early 1980s. Conceptually, the book presents the dual state as being a fundamental feature of the Japanese political economy that determines government reform dynamics.
