This paper provides a case study of the technocratic style of policymaking in Japan. The author provides a broad picture of contemporary Japanese politics and looks at the role of civil society organizations. It contends that the country finds itself at a turning point from the style of technocratic rule that supported rapid economic growth in the 1950s and 1960s, toward pluralism at the beginning of the new millennium.
