Informationen zum Autor Koichi Nakano , Ph.D. (Princeton) is Associate Professor of Political Science, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Sophia University in Japan. Klappentext Using Japan and France as case studies, this book argues that decentralization is fundamentally an "oppositional" policy advocated by political parties in opposition, placed on the legislative agenda when they come to power, and pursued at times even when it ceases to make partisan sense to do so.
