Description

This academic study examines the seismic shift in Japanese politics following the July 1993 general election, when the Liberal Democratic Party's thirty-eight year grip on power ended in defeat. Although the LDP returned to government within a year, author Hori critically analyses whether Japan's political system retained its former efficacy. Using institutional analysis, the book argues that this fundamental change triggered major institutional transformations and a decline in the LDP's traditional dominance. Part of the Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies series, this work provides essential insight into post-1993 Japanese political dynamics, institutional restructuring, and the shifting relationship between the LDP and the Ministry of Finance. Essential reading for scholars of Japanese politics, public administration, and East Asian governance.
