Japan's political stability was shattered after the general
election of July 1993 when the conservative Liberal Democratic
Party's thirty-eight year domination ended in defeat. This book
examines the impact the 1993 general election had on Japanese
politics. Although the LDP regained the position of a ruling party
within a year, Hori questions whether the Japanese political system
has managed to maintain the same efficacy as it had prior to 1993.
Using institutional analysis Hori argues that this fundamental
change caused major institutional transformations; a decline in the
importance of LDP organisations in the decision-making process of
the government and the Diet, weakened management of the LDP through
factions, and detached attitudes of LDP members to MOF bureaucrats.
Hori analyzes three cases, one prior to and two after the 1993
election, illustrating just how ineffective the close cooperation
between MOF bureaucrats, LDP executives and faction leaders became.
