抄録
内容記述 The post-war Japanese government was modernized according to the Westminster model, and, from 2000, began to reform its public agencies—known as “Incorporated Administrative Agencies” (IAAs)—in-line with the New Public Management model that was gaining global traction at the time. Despite the Western origin of such reforms, Japan’s political-administrative institutions have some unique features that set them aside from their Western counterparts while having parallels with other Asian countries. Therefore, we argue that it is essential to analyze how these local institutional factors affect organizational change inside government agencies in order to widen our understanding of transition in government bodies beyond Western contexts.
Accordingly, this study addresses the following research questions: 1) What are the major forms of organizational transition in the case of Japan’s IAAs? 2) What are the major factors that determine their survival/death? 3) How do non-western features of government affect agency transition? 4) What is the role of political leadership in this context? To answer these questions, we developed a survival dataset of IAAs from 2001 to 2022, which includes key political and administrative variables. Our analysis suggests that political leaders (i.e., prime ministers) tend to pursue non-structural cosmetic transitions of agencies, such as renaming/rebranding, as part of broader public service reform packages. However, political longevity is an essential factor here, since leaders whose tenure is short tend to make little or no impact. Our findings shed light not only on the internal workings of the Japanese government, but also on the importance of local political realities in shaping patterns of agency transition, thus helping to broaden the scope of the research in this field beyond Western contexts.
