Features of policy-making processes in Japan's Council for Science and Technology
Article Abstract:
Flexibility characterizes the policy-making mechanisms of Japan's Council for Science and Technology. The council, which has a multi-level hierarchical structure, form deliberating committees subject to the development of a policy program. It also coordinates with other science- and technology-related councils in other ministries and allows policymakers to hold dual posts at different levels of the hierarchy. This, in turn, facilitates greater information transfer.
