Book Description Since 1967, the Japanese government has embarked on two major educational reform initiatives, but both failed to achieve significant change. Education Reform in Japan analyzes the criticism of the system, and explains why proposed reforms have failed. Schoppa shows how the Japanese policy-making process can become paralyzed when there is disagreement between bureaucrats, party leaders, and politicians. He blames this ``immobilism'' on the dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, and argues that this immobilism can affect other areas of Japanese policy-making. | ||
