The Review of the Policy Evaluation in Japan

概要

論文の詳細を見る
In Japan, the policy evaluation has the two origins.First, Mie Prefecture and other 'aggressive' local governments have introduced performance measurement-type evaluation and public works projects review. Second, in the Central Government (for example former Ministry of International Trade and Industry), there needed the so-called 'policy review system', and it became the other type of policy evaluation by 1998. As a result, there are two types of policy evaluation in Japan. Many students and practitioners, or sometimes citizens, wonder which is the true style of the policy evaluation, how to make self-evaluation and internal evaluation objective, and which is better to evaluate policy in terms of qualitative analysis (equity and equality) or quantitative analysis (efficiency and effectiveness). The Japanese-style policy evaluation is still in the process of formulating necessary and appropriate methods, and the author would like to suggest four issues which would stimulate the methodological elaboration.
