| Details | Two new changes to the frame of local governments have altered the main frameworks of national and provincial governance.With decentralization reforms taking effect,more local bodies are gaining autonomy and departing from uniformity.This has allowed methods of cooperation between governing bodies to diversify-trends which augur a dissolution of uniformity in Japanese local administration.If left alone,it may eventually lead to disparities between principal and peripheral bodies,and thus complicate the administrative systems further.This book aims to address the dynamism of concepts of wide area public service in Japan.It advocates the use of flexible strategies to ensure service standards are best suited to each regional demand.This concept can be called"departure from uniformity".This book also examines the advantages and disadvantages of these shifts for the future of Japanese public policy. |
