- Summary:
- Turmoil, transition and confusion have characterized recent discussion and analysis of current Japanese politics. Following the death of Emperor Hirohito in 1989, the dawn of the Heisei era in Japan was expected to usher in a social metamorphosis, a shedding of psychological scars of WWII and the emergence of a confident Japan willing to undertake international responsibilities. Japanese Politics Today examines the key factors in the domestic political system in a clear and concise way. It provides an up-to-date assessment of contemporary Japanese politics by some of the leading scholars and commentators in the world today, including an analysis of the 1996 general election.
