A study of innovations introduced into the administration of Japan. Admin'ive reforms were first introduced on a large scale under the stress of postwar conditions. The administration was streamlined, with 62 bur's (24% of the total) & 230,000 officials (15% of the total) eliminated. At the end of the occupation in 1952, 98,000 more officials were discharged. A gov White Paper of 1956 established that future growth should be based on modernization of the admin. Modernization was carried out in accordance with reports of successive advisory councils on administration set up by the Admin'ive management Agency between 1952 & 1960; but their recommendations were not fully carried out. Hence the establishment of the Provisional Council on Admin'ive Reform, a non-partisan body on the model of the US Hoover Commission. In Sep 1964 it issued a report which asked for 16 major reforms. In spite of the establishment of an Extraordinary Ministerial Council on Admin'ive Reform (1967), the pace of reform has been slow. But there has been a recent trend towards computerization, & the gov plans to introduce a Planning-Programming-Budgeting System along US lines. I. Langnas.
