布莱恩·J·麦克维(Brian J.McVeigh)使用了一种独特的人类学方法，走出了对日本社会有缺陷的刻板印象，真正参与了当前关于官僚机构在日本政治中的作用的辩论。在许多西方人看来，日本似乎是一个悖论：一个理性、高科技的经济超级大国，但同时又是一个高度仪式化和仪式化的社会。这项大胆的新研究展示了如何调和对日本名义上相互矛盾的印象，以及如何更好地理解这个国家。
Brian J. McVeigh uses a unique anthropological approach to step outside flawed stereotypes of Japanese society and really engage in the current debate over the role of bureaucracy in Japanese politics. To many in the West, Japan appears as a paradox: a rational, high-tech economic superpower and yet at the same time a deeply ritualistic and ceremonial society. This adventurous new study demonstrates how these nominally conflicting impressions of Japan can be reconciled and a greater understanding of the state achieved.
