Has changing the party in power in Japan made a real difference
Japan's triple disaster of 11 March 2011 partially eclipsed the events of August/September 2009, when over fifty years of single-party dominance by the Liberal Democratic Party were ended, and the opposition Democratic Party of Japan took power. This article assesses the new government's first two difficult and chaotic years in power, made all the more so after defeat in the upper house elections of July 2010. In addition, the triple disaster sor…

From Koizumi to Abe: Same Bed, Different Dreams
This paper considers changes in developmental policy, reform agenda and political leadership within the Liberal Democratic Party since the 1990s. Particular attention is given to the contrasting reform agenda of Koizumi and Abe. The author argues that both leaders represent variants of enhanced authoritarianism; Koizumi pursued a ‘Thatcherite’ style agenda in efforts to ‘modernise’ the Japanese economy, while Abe is a more traditional interventio…
To oppose or to appease? Parties out of power and the need for real politics in Japan
Bernard Crick defined politics in terms of discussion and held that discussion entailed opposition. In Japanese politics opposition parties have very rarely replaced in power the dominant Liberal Democratic Party. The tendency for such parties to appease the ruling party has diluted the notion that they ought vigorously to compete for power. Japanese opposition parties have missed a succession of opportunities presented to them since the war. The…
Collected Writings of J. A. A. Stockwin: Part 1
The volume opens with a detailed autobiographical sketch of the author's original 'meeting with Japan', which began in 1961after taking up a post at ANU, Canberra (the result of a successful response to an advert in the Manchester Guardian). After twenty-one years in Australia, Arthur Stockwin moved back to the UK to take the chair of the then recently-established Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies. He was to be in post there also for twenty on…
Dictionary of the Modern Politics of Japan
The politics of Japan are less widely reported than its economics. Most people are aware of the economic 'miracle' following the Second World War, whereby Japan became the second largest economy in the world after the United States, and the economic stagnation of the early 1990s is also well known. But it is difficult to make sense of these phenomena without a knowledge of the political system and the ways in which it works in practice. Containin…
Why Japan still matters
Reshaping of Japanese Politics and the Question of Democracy
Japan's need for economic and political reform has been recognized but the means to achieve this has not. In this article, J.A.A. Stockwin, professor of Modern Japanese Studies at the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, University of Oxford, considers this question by examining the meaning of democracy then applying the theory to the specific case of Japan. He explains that although not identical to a democracy in a Western sense, Japan's syste…

The Need for Reform in Japanese Politics
At one time it was widely believed by Western observers of Japan that since Japanese culture was situationally relativist rather than individualistic and principled, the Japanese found little difficulty in changing direction fundamentally should the situation demand it.2 It seemed to follow from this that Japan was prone to sudden changes of policy direction, and indeed that the most fundamental structures of politics, such as the current constit…

"Positive Neutrality" – The Foreign Policy of the Japanese Socialist Party
Positive neutrality is the party's fundamental standpoint in its struggle for peace and the relaxation of tension. It means nonalignment, that is, non-participation in the military blocs of East or West, with the aim of eventually dissolving these blocs; thus it is neutrality on a military plane. In our case such a position is backed up by our Constitution, which prohibits armaments or war, and is supported by the people's desire for peace. We wh…

Japanese Attitudes to the Sino-Soviet Dispute
discussions of the Sino-Soviet dispute, much interest has been taken in its repercussions in communist parties all over the world, including those outside the communist bloc.1 The trend favouring the Soviet Union in parties of advanced industrial countries contrasts with the trend favouring China in parties of non-affluent societies, especially in Asia. To focus on Communist parties alone, however, is to shut our eyes to the effects which divisio…

Is Japan a Post-Marxist Society
The chances for Communist success in Japan, however, do not appear promising barring external interference. In the most fundamental sense, Japan is a post-Marxist society. Marxist doctrines, whether of economics or of revolution, have less and less validity for this society as it joins the ranks of the advanced nations of the world. Japanese Communists, whatever the doctrinal changes they can effect, will never be able to use the Communist appeal…
Foreign Policy Perspectives of the Japanese Left: Confrontation or Consensus
THE IDEA THAT left and right wings in Japanese politics hold to diametrically opposed and irreconcilable positions on foreign policy is an old one which has led some observers to claim that the replacement of a Conservative by a Socialist would result in a cataclysmic change-amounting to a virtual revolution-in Japan's international policies. More recently, however, the dream of a bi-partisan (or multi-partisan) foreign policy, based on a about w…

A Comparison of Political Factionalism in Japan and India
Most studies of political factionalism begin with attempts to define the terms ‘faction’ and ‘factionalism’. The resultant definitions are then regarded as having universal validity, irrespective of time, place, or political culture. The use of this procedure, in our opinion, leads either to the unwarranted universalisation of causal relationships having limited scope, or to generalisations which are too broad to be of much practical value

Running for public office in postwar Japan requires the endorsement of a political party and a sophisticated system of organizational support. In this volume, Gerald L.

Sato's district consisted of a modern urban center and a tradition-bound rural hinter…

Forecast for Japan: Security in the 1970s
If, as seems likely, Japan's 1975 GNP more than doubles the rest of Asia's, will it seek to build armed forces to match? For a reliable forecast, six policy specialists consider areas bearing on the path Japan takes. Drawing from the contributors' projections, James Motley concludes with a primary forecast of the security policy Japan is likely to follow in the early 1970's.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest…
