ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, janv./mars 1995Revue Française D'Administration Publique 73, p. 5-8Abstract: The history of Japan's modern administration dates from the "Meji Restauration" which starts the new imperial regime in 1867. As far as the state is concerned, the first step of occidentalisation was the "Constitution of the Empire of Japan" of 1989, entered into force in 1890, which established a prussian type of constitutional regime with the aim of limiting the rights and liberties of individuals through parliament's action. The new Constitution of 1946 did not lead to the total elimination of the former bureaucracy. Nevertheless is stresses the people's sovereignty, the primacy of parliament and the autonomy of local administration and suppresses the administrative courts. Japan's administration holds an important role in policy formulation since a long time. This role could not dimish albeit the important effort to reduce the weight of japan's administration in society
