Abstract
Against the background of increasingly knowledge-intensive policymaking in post-industrial society, this study attempts to explain both the purpose of the extensive participation of academics in Japanese government policymaking and the uncertain significance of the practice. The ambiguity and danger surrounding this uncertainty are the function of a number of critical cultural and institutional factors that persist in the higher civil service and academe.Keywords
