| Summary: |
Japan is known as a country in which a potent central power reigns over a compliant
pyramidal hierarchy. For planning this has meant strong centralized government
control. Yet, examples of autonomy have always existed in the politics, society,

political and economic decentralization are emerging that must be evaluated in
the context of the larger socio-political system. |
