Using the concept of principal and agent,Ramseyer/and Rosenbluth construct a persuasive account of political relationships in Japan. In doing so, they demonstrate that political considerations and institutional arrangements reign in what, to most of the world, looks like an independently powerful bureaucratic state."

"It's long been known that fewer lawsuits are filed in Japan per capita than in the United States. Yet explanations for the difference have tended to be partial and unconvincing, ranging from circular arguments about Japanese culture to suggestions that the slow-moving Japanese court system acts as a deterrent. With Second-Best Justice, J. Mark Ramseyer offers a much more compelling, well-grounded explanation: the low rate of lawsuits in ..."

In "The Fable of the Keiretsu, " Yoshiro ..."

Toward that end, the author investigates the way law governed various markets and the way that people negotiated contracts within those markets.

Legal scholars have always debated these questions—asking, in effect, how much judicial systems operate on merit and p ..."

In the 1910s, the power of the oligarchy was eclipsed by that of a larger group of professional politicians; in the 1930s, the focus of power shifted again, this time to a set of independent military leaders. In this book, Ramseyer and Rosenbluth examine a key question of modern Japanese politi ..."
