Changing Politics in Japan

After a clear and simple Introduction, chapter two discusses the importance of citizens, parties and policy within the 1955 electoral system with ‘clientelism’ being given as an explanation for the rural electoral success of the Liberal Democratic Party ( LDP), and provides good descriptions of the single non-transferable voting system and of ‘money politics’. The emergence of Nakasone’s Rincho administrative reform approach is also discussed. My only criticism of this chapter is the use of the term ‘trade unions’ rather than ‘labour’ which is considered to be the English language method of explaining ‘kumiai’.
