Japan's Political Market Place

Front Cover
0 Reviews
Harvard University Press, 1993 - Political Science - 262 pages
J. Mark Ramseyer and Frances McCall Rosenbluth show how rational-choice theory can be applied to Japanese politics. Using the concept of principal and agent, Ramseyer and Rosenbluth construct a persuasive account of political relationships in Japan. In doing so, they demonstrate that political forces and institutional arrangements reign in what, to most of the world, looks like an independently powerful bureaucratic state.
