Abstract

1.Introduction 2.Change of Bureaucratic Dominance 3.Political Reformation 4.Necessity of Further Reformation 5.Conclusion The administrative organization is going to be reformed at the very beginning of the year 2001. This reformation was performed by the strong leadership of the former Premier, Ryutaro Hashimoto. Though it is quite significant for the administrative organization to be reformed for the first time in this half century, this reformation should be considered not merely as a reorganization of the bureaucratic system, but as a part of the whole governmental reformation. It has been said that the power and the influence of the bureaucrats are extremely strong in Japan. But since so many problems arose, there were and still are remarkable movements to weaken the power of the bureaucrats, that is, deregulation, decentralization to the local governments and political reformation.

In this study, the relation between the administrative reformation and the political reformation is described by focusing on the improvement of cabinet system etc.. Also, the important points to complete the the governmental reformation are examined.
