Government

The chapters in the Government section of Kansai through Kiwi eyes give a feel as to how central and local governments affect peoples lives in Japan, which New Zealanders can compare as they seek to understand how to participate in the political process.

Examples, from rubbish collection to influencing public health, show Kiwi’s choices they might exercise about the role of government in their lives.

Examples also alert Kiwis to government policies which affect their trade with Kansai markets.

This is a country case study through Kiwi eyes for use in citizenship education.
