Decentralization Is A Curious Policy For A Central Government To Pursue. If Politics Is Essentially About The Struggle For Power, Why Would Anyone Want To Give Away The Power That One Struggled For And Won? This Book Argues That It Is Precisely Party Competition In Search Of Power That Propels Decentralization.Koichi Nakano Develops His Core Argument Through Indepth, Qualitative Research On The Politics Of Reform In France And Japan.
