| Résumé: | Neoliberal Ideology and Political Entrepreneurship
in Japan
J apan has experienced two major periods of privatization:
railroads and telecommunications under Premier Nakasone (1982-1986) and
the post office under Premier Koizumi (2001-2006). Between these two episodes, Japan has also pursued deregulation and market-opening policies
(1996-2006). The article analyzes the political processes behind this succession of events. It demonstrates that neoliberal ideology was not a decisive
factor in itself and that it was often a minority stance in Japan. In fact, the
major privatization reforms took place when political entrepreneurs who
enjoyed considerable political autonomy managed to exploit this ideology to
direct political ends and used privatization as an instrument to restructure the
political sphere. |
