In Defense of
Japanese Bureaucracy
Peter E Drucker
a heretic’s view
American policy on Japan, especially during Asia’s economic
crisis, is based on five assumptions that have become articles of faith
for most American policymakers, Japan scholars, and even a good
many business executives. But all of them are either plain wrong or,
at best, highly dubious:
1. The government bureaucracy’s dominance is assumed to be
unique to Japan, like its near-monopoly on policymaking and its
control ofbusiness and the economy through “administrative guidance.”
2. Reducing the bureaucracy’s role to what it should be?”the
experts on tap but not on top”?would not be that difficult. All that
is needed is political will.
3. A ruling elite like the Japanese bureaucracy is both unnecessary
in a modern developed society and undesirable in a democracy.
4. The Japanese bureaucracy’s resistance to “deregulation,” especially
now in the financial sector, is nothing but a selfish clinging to power
that will do severe damage. By delaying the inevitable, it can only
make things worse.
5. Finally, the Japanese?they are intelligent people, after all?put
the economy first, as we do.

rather than the rule. Indeed, the Japanese bureaucracy is a good
deal less overbearing than that of some other developed countries,
particularly France.
