| Todai Law earned and maintained a reputation for producing students capable of passing the civil service exams. Similar to Harvard and Yale in the United States, it is now entrenched in national policymaking. === Post-War === Aside from the [[Japan/GHQ#Bureaucracy|Home Ministry]], much of Imperial Japan's government was left as-is by GHQ. This left the bureaucracy in a powerful position. While ministers were elected members of the Diet, all other members of a ministry (up to and including vice ministers) were career bureaucrats. This led to a functional structure similar to the IMF; the minister as a figurehead, the vice minister as the ''de facto'' head. This status was maintained by the '''amakudari''' system, whereby retiring bureaucrats were gifted a job by the vice minister exercising their high-level connections to corporate boards. |
