In August 2009, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won a
crushing victory over the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), thus
bringing to an end over fifty years of one-party dominance. Around
the world, the victory of the DPJ was seen as a radical break with
Japan's past. However, this dramatic political shift was not as
sudden as it appeared, but rather the culmination of a series of
changes first set in motion in the early 1990s.The Evolution of
Japan's Party System analyses the transition by examining both
party politics and public policy. Arguing that these political
changes were evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the essays in
this volume discuss how older parties such as the LDP and the Japan
Socialist Party failed to adapt to the new policy environment of
the 1990s. Taken as a whole, The Evolution of Japan's Party System
provides a unique look at party politics in Japan, bringing them
into a comparative conversation that usually focuses on Europe and
North America.
