This book provides the most complete data to date on the extent of movement from top ministry positions into corporate boards, public organizations, and political positions. The use of multiple data sources is also instrumental in showing us that the practice of all forms of amakudari have changed little since World War II. Harold R. Kerbo, California Polytechnic State University, Contemporary Socialogy 33, 4, July 2004

Amakudari, by putting together different data sources, presents a useful, bird's-eye view of the extensive practice and serves as a good introduction to the topic, especially for those to whom the sheer scope of amakudari in Japanese society would be news. -Koichi Nakano, Sophia University, Journal of Japanese Studies, 31:1 (2005)
