Details This study aims to determine the level of integration of Japan’s Intelligence Community (IC), particularly the effectiveness of the Director of Cabinet Intelligence (DCI) as a coordinating body, since the Japanese government started its IC reform in 2008. A quantitative analysis of the relationship between the Prime Minister, the DCI, and other actors reveals that the DCI has progressed in IC integration since 2008. The findings have significant implications for the future development of Japan’s IC, particularly in terms of the evolving role of the DCI as a community facilitator rather than a personal briefer to the Prime Minister.
