On June 1, Associate Professor Yuichiro Shimizu of the Faculty of Policy Management received the Public Policy Studies Association Japan Award (Incentive Award).
This award is given to promising young researchers in the field of public policy, and Associate Professor Yuichiro Shimizu was selected for his achievement in his book, "The Bureaucracy of Modern Japan," of presenting the characteristics of Japanese governance by examining the relationship between bureaucracy and politics from a historical perspective.
The Public Policy Studies Association Japan aims to promote research on public issues, public policy, and policy science from an international perspective and to foster intellectual exchange with researchers and research institutions both in Japan and abroad involved in policy research. It is characterized by bringing together not only researchers but also practitioners.
Comment from Associate Professor Yuichiro Shimizu
Having dealt with governance structures in my first book, the reason I came to focus on people in this book is none other than because I have seen so many students at SFC realize their dreams. Thank you, everyone.
From now on, from SFC (though I am currently in the United States), I want to continue to think and act from the space between not only politics and bureaucracy but also between government and the private sector, public and private, and institutions and people.
