Since the 1980's, cultural policy and administration have been important issues for government and local authorities in Japan. For local authorities, the unique concept of cultural administration has developed, not only in culture promoting activities, but also in comprehensive activities that depend on self-government. Compared with other developed countries, the government's cultural policy lacks direction and clarity. It is often said that France is a "great cultural state," which has a positive attitude towards "culture". The purpose of this study is to make the following points clear: (1) How cultural policy in France has been implemented; (2) How political power has affected "culture"; (3) What issues are important in France's cultural policy; and (4) What kind of legal system has supported France's cultural policy. These issues will be approached as follows: First, the history of France's cultural policy will be discussed. Second, the strong role of the minister of culture in planning cultural policy will be addressed; Third, the implementation of "decentralisation", the central issue in France's cultural policy will be discussed; and fourth, the role of 'decret' and 'loi' in cultural promotion will be addressed.
