This book reveals how the Japanese national ministries can exploit their Special Status Corporations (public corporations, supported primarily with public funding from a state-run banking agency) in order to intensify their administrative power over industries and local governments and to perpetuate the interests of elite civil servants by facilitating the migration to post-retirement positions in the private sector. The book explains why the existence of these organizations inhibits the Prime Ministers efforts to implement structural reforms.

SUSAN CARPENTER worked for seven years in an American branch office of the Japan External Trade Organization, a Special Status Corporation. She is currently a Visiting Research Scholar in the School of Management at the University of Edinburgh.
