"Institutional Change in Japan analyzes institutional change within this period of economic transition. It addresses the origin, development, and recent adaptation of core institutions, including financial institutions, corporate governance, lifetime employment, the amakudari system and marriage and family. Importantly this analysis is grounded in a broad historical and international context, with comparisons made to Meiji Japan as well as to recent economic and financial reforms in Korea, Switzerland and New Zealand."--BOOK JACKET.
