Yu Tianren: Who Rules Japan

The group referred to as "bureaucrats" in Japan consists of talented individuals selected through a special process who operate the national apparatus of Japan on behalf of the Emperor. *Who Governs Japan* clearly dissects the bureaucratic structure through an analysis of the history, development, and current status of these Japanese bureaucrats—the "high-ranking civil servants." By examining how they contributed to Japan's development, readers can find insights that are applicable to or helpful for the domestic situation today. A unique aspect of this book is that the author is not Japanese, but Chinese. This perspective on "Japanese bureaucrats and the bureaucratic system" by a third-country national will aid in an objective understanding of Japan's political structure. Translator Park Yun-sik analyzed Japan's past rise and fall, emphasizing that we must ensure the shameful history of the past is never repeated and that we should certainly learn from it whenever possible.
