To the outside observer, the character and dynamics of Japan's
political parties and Diet (National Assembly) are often obscure.
This volume is an invaluable description of party politics in
Japan, and a unique analysis of the influence that a changing
balance of power has had upon the functioning of the Diet. The book
covers: the party system and how it has changed since 1955; the
electoral systems for the Representatives and Councillors in the
Diet. An extensive analysis of the Diet's internal governance; a
discussion of the influence on the Diet's functioning and role of
the arrival of "near parity" between the governing and opposition
parties. The book is based on numerous interviews with Japanese
politicians, journalists and bureaucrats, as well as extensive
discussions with Japanese political scientists.
