Research Abstract

The one of features of Japanese bureaucracy in the central government before the Second World War was, firstly, a huge weight of employees in State owned corporations such as National Railway and Telephone & Telegraph. Civil servants in public business sector amounted to 60-65% of all employees of government after the Russo-Japanese War. Secondly, after the First World War, Bureaucracy in the central government was remarkably swelling. The number of bureaus increased from 39 of them to 59 and the number of divisions also increased 125 of them to 225. This means that the area covered by public policies were expand all over the society. In spite of these expansion, the cabinet and its supporting organization had not been developed until later 1930s. The number of bureaucrats in Cabinet Office continued to be too small to integrate the swelled bureaucracy.
