Comment: "みなさん、ありがとうございました。とても参考になりました。行政についての専門的なものであればまた違ったのでしょうけれど、今回は手紙（公的なこのですが）だったので「わかりやすい」表現の方が良いと思い、willmatterさんの提案してくださった表現にadministrativeを加えて使わせていただきました。よく耳にする言葉なのに意外に「これ」という英語がないのに驚きました。でも、いろいろな助言をいただき、ほんとうに助かりました。Thanks again."

vertical administration/vertical administration system
縦割り means vertical and 行政 means administration.
I checked the phrase of vertical administration in Google and got about 170 hits. I think vertical administration system could convey more precise meaning than vertical administration.

: Not bad at all, but I don't think the idea of 縦割り is expressed. Compartmentalization does not guarantee it is vertical. There is horizonatal compatmentalization as well.

vertically compartmentalized administrative system
It's a mouthful, but this is a very inclusive term in that it covers all of the nuances that the other answerers and commentors have pointed out. It also has the advantage of being used by researchers at Japan's Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) (see URL below).

Bureaucratic Sectionalism
You see vertical organizations, which could also be called stove-piped organizations, but in politics, you use administration, government.
I actually did a research and found "sectionalism" to be closest to the term. So I further researched until I arrived at "Bureaucratic Sectionalism" .
Thanks
