Beskrivning
While studies of policy analysis in other countries have assessed their needs and integrated them into training programmes for professional policy analysts, Japanese studies have been very limited. Policy analysis in Japan brings together for the first time a detailed examination of the theory and practice of policy analysis systems in Japan, at different levels. As part of the successful International Library of Policy Analysis series edited by Iris Geva-May and Michael Howlett, the book provides expert analysis to closely examine to what extent the Japanese government has succeeded in providing key policy actors with evidence-informed policy options, thereby improving the likelihood of better policies being adopted and implemented. The book also assesses Japan’s future policy directions, allowing policy researchers and practitioners to draw a number of lessons from the Japanese experience. The book includes empirical case studies to aid teaching and further research, and will be a valuable resource for students and academics as well as policymakers.Features of the ILPA series include:•a country-specific systematic study of policy analysis systems by government and non-governmental actors •a history of the country’s policy analysis, empirical case studies and a comparative overview of alternative approaches•a key reference collection for research and teaching in comparative policy analysis and policy studies

Recensioner i media

"Ministries with professional bureaucracies and dedicated think tanks undoubtedly contributed to Japanese post-war development. The distinguished editors of this volume make a strong case that Japanese public policy would now benefit from both increased policy analysis capability within the ministries and greater participation from policy analysts in the broader society." Professor David L Weimer, University of Wisconsin - Madison "This book of essays on Japan is an especially important contribution to the study of comparative policy analysis, allowing policy scholars to understand the evolution of the field in Japan, but also to focus on the ways in which policy knowledge and practices travel." Frank Fischer, Professor of Politics and Global Affairs, Rutgers University, USA "A novel and comprehensive undertaking in synthesising the state of knowledge of policy analysis." Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration "An excellent academic book that should be read deeply, thoroughly and comprehensively in order to understand policy making in Japan." Professor Yang, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan "A marvellous work, introducing readers to their terra incognita of Japanese public policy analysis. The beauty of the volume is the comprehensive and concise coverage of concepts, methods and substantive topics of public policy analysis as practiced in Japan. A must-read for public policy analysts and laymen alike." Professor Takashi Inoguchi, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo
