Description: Advice and Consent by Frank J. Schwartz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book explores how political conflicts of interest among economic groups are resolved in Japan with the help of consultative councils, or shingikai. Schwartz also makes broader observations about the political economy of Japan, and, by extension, other advanced industrial economies. Publisher Description The postwar era has witnessed a pluralizing trend in Japan, but small sets of narrowly-focused interest groups still dominate policymaking. Over 200 small consultative councils (shingikai), composed of business people, bureaucrats, scholars, journalists, union members, and others, deliberate on virtually every aspect of public policy. This book reviews their functions and operations, and presents three case studies of specific governmental decisions involving the use of shingikai in the late 1980s. Author Biography Schwartz is a marine zoologist and well-known shark expert who has studied the fishes for more than 45 years. He is professor and curator of fishes at the University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences at Morehead City.
