What role does the political survival of prime ministers play in
Japan's relations with China over the Yasukuni issue? Three
Japanese prime ministers, including Nakasone Yasuhiro, Hashimoto
Ryutaro and Abe Shinzo, complied with China's demands and stopped
visiting the controversial Shrine in 1986, 1997 and 2007,
respectively. By contrast, the Yasukuni controversy intensified
between 2001 and 2006 when a popular Prime Minister Koizumi
Junichiro was determined to pay regular homage to the Yasukuni
Shrine annually. Prime Minister Abe, who previously demonstrated
restraint over the issue in his first term between 2006 and 2007,
visited the Yasukuni unexpectedly in 2013 but not in 2014 or 2015.
To explain this variation, this book presents an alternative
interpretation of Japan's official responses toward China's
pressure over the Yasukuni issue between 1985 and 2015 by applying
a political survival approach that highlights the domestic
political legitimacy of the Japanese prime minister or the ruling
party. This book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of Sino-Japanese relations, Japan's foreign policy and
international relations.
