The Failure of the Japanese" Big Bang": Bureaucracy -Driven Reforms and Politician Intervention |
I Okamoto |
2005 |
The "financial big bang" of the late 1990s strove to fundamentally liberalize the Japanese financial system and create a free, fair, and global financial market. However, as is now evident from the stagnation of the stock market and the bad debt problems of Japanese banks, those reforms have not accomplished their desired ends. The question is: Why? This article attributes the failure of the big bang to the inability of the reforms to go beyond liberalizing the securities industry by challenging the government's protection of the banking sector, and to the government's haphazard intervention in the stock market. The article concludes that these are all problems of "financial gover-nance," that is, the reforms were "bottom-up," implemented at the initiative of the Securities Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (MOF), and politicians intervened in financial administration after the MOF was broken up. |

The Lockheed scandal was exposed during the 4 February 1976 hearings of the Sub-Committee on Multinational Corporations of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. These hearings revealed that Lockheed Aircraft Corporation paid illegal payments in several countries including Japan to promote the sale of its planes to prevent bankruptcy. The Securities Exchange Commission obtained documents showing that Lockheed paid more than US$10 million to Yoshio Kodama, a “fixer” and Lockheed's secret representative, and the Marubeni Corporation, which was Lockheed's agent in Japan since 1959. During the same hearings on 6 February, A. Carl Kotchian, vice president of Lockheed, informed the committee that a senior Japanese government official received US$2 million from Marubeni and that his company relied on Kenji Osano, a close associate of former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, as an intermediary in its efforts to sell 21 Lockheed's L-1001 Tristar airbuses to All Nippon Airways (ANA) (Macdougall, 1988, pp. 193–195). |

Curbing Corruption Through Tertiary Education in Indonesia and Japan. |
Assegaf, A. |
2018 |
Corruption has become a global issue, whereas almost every country, whatever tough
or slight it is, got to fight against it. It means that none of single country in the world
is corruption free. This study analyzes anti-corruption policies and educational
strategies enforced by Indonesian and Japanese Government. Data was collected
through documentation and literature review, and to some extent, cultural behaviors
of both countries were observed. This study used the theory of legal system by
Lawrence M Friedman as an analysis method. The main research questions are: first,
how are the Government’s policies enacted to eradicate corruption in Indonesia and
Japan? Second, what educational strategies are implemented by both countries for
combating corruption? Third, how Islamic perspective deals with anti-corruption
practices? The research findings indicate several points: firstly, Indonesia has very
complex social and cultural background if compared to Japan. Indeed Indonesia has
some weaknesses such as weak of economic conditions, high levels of poverty, lack of
political will, weak of cultural order, lack of honest and discipline attitudes, and lack
of law enforcement. Indonesia's anti-corruption policies enforced today is Act
Number 31 of 1999, while Japan enacted several interrelated law compiled in Penal
Codes (PC). Secondly, the implementation strategy for anti-corruption education in
Indonesia is preventive, detective and repressive strategies. Meanwhile, Japan
applies integrated strategies in social, political, economic, cultural, and education
dimension. It is expected that the results of this study can contribute to the prevention
and eradication of corruption in Indonesia more comprehensively, not only through
legal means but education, especially higher education through internalization of
moral and Islamic values of anti-corruption in all aspects of live. |
