Globalization and decentralization: institutional contexts, policy issues, and intergovernmental relations in Japan and the United States: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Globalization and decentralization: institutional contexts, policy issues, and intergovernmental relations in Japan and the United States" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book explores the effects of global socio-economic forces on the domestic policies and administrative institutions of Japan and the United States, and it explains how these global factors have shifted power and authority downward from the national government to subnational governments. This major comparative study comprises ten pairs of essays written by leading Japanese and American scholars on parallel public policy issues, institutional patterns, and intergovernmental relations in Japan and the United States, all set in the context of globalization and its impact on decentralization in each country. The twenty contributors and the editors provide new insights into the domestic consequences of global interdependence by examining emerging strategies for dealing with environmental concerns, urban problems, infrastructure investments, financial policies, and human services issues. An important study of the changing global setting, Globalization and Decentralization emphasizes the innovative and adaptive roles played by Japanese and American state, provincial, regional, and local governments in responding to the dramatic economic and political power shifts created by the new world order.
