State Administrative Apparatus Reform For A More Effective Government: The Japan’s Experience And Implication For Vietnam

Abstract

        Abstract: This paper briefly describes the Japanese government’s reform process and efforts at the central level after the Second World War. Through this reform, by 01/01/2001, the current central government structure, which consists of the Prime Minister’s Office and 22 ministerial-level organizations under the Cabinet, will be changed into the Cabinet Office and 12 ministerial-level organizations.

     From the experience of Japan, this paper provides some policy suggestions for Vietnam in order to successfully implement the Resolution No.18-NQ/TW dated October 25^th, 2017 of the 6th Central Committee Meeting and the Resolution No. 56/2017/QH14 dated November 24^th, 2017 of the National Assembly on continuing to reform the organization of state administrative apparatus.
