Privatisation of Japanese National Railways

An account of the situation which brought about the privatization of JNR in 1987, the processes of privatization, break-up and deregulation, and the new private railway companies. This account is seen in the context of the Japanese transport system as a whole, and takes into account the differing requirements of urban and rural areas.
