Research Abstract	This research examined three cases of institutionalizing policy-making processes in Japan--regulatory impact assessment, strategic environmental assessment and participatory technology assessment--and exemplified the interaction mechanism between process adaptation and contextual change for accommodating imported processes in an existing institutional environment. By comparing the cases this research exemplified the need for a contextual change (e.g., adjusting institutional mechanisms) in the international transfer of policy-making processes.
