Post Heisei Mergers in Japan : potential for a new realignment in the Dõshu state system - Hong Kong : University of Hong Kong, june 2010
From 2000 onward, Japan underwent a period of municipal mergers referred to as the Heisei Mergers. Even though the outcome of these mergers is still unclear, the central Japanese government is considering, if not moving toward, initiating a new set of mergers, this time consolidating the 47 prefectures into 12 dõshu, or states, in what is termed a dõshu-sei, or state system. This article examines the proposed characteristics of the dõshu-sei together with its justifications and implications. Evaluation of the dõshu-sei system follows, based both on post-Heisei Merger and pre-dõshu-sei sentiment, as well as an analytical consideration of the unintended consequences
