Abstract
This paper investigates a partnership mechanism between the public and private sectors which has emerged as a device of state intervention in contemporary capitalist economies. Following the discussion of theoretical debates raised by partnerships, the author examines the use of partnerships in regional development planning in Japan. While indicating that partnerships have the attribute of a "mass integrative apparatus" which takes up the requirements of major organizations and channels them in conformity with capital accumulation and political domination, the author argues that because of the contradictory nature of partnerships in that they are aimed at both sustaining class relations and satisfying mass demands, the partnership apparatus of the state is limited in managing the economy.
