The authors of this book have joined together for a third time to
produce a book on Japanese political parties and elections. The
first two books under the title of The Japanese Party System were
also published by Westview Press in 1986 and 1992. This book,
Japan's New Party System, has a different purpose than the previous
volumes. The first two books had as their task the presentation of
a vast amount of material on the various parties of the 1955-1993
party system. Since 1955, Japanese politics and parties had been
rather uneventful and predictable; consequently, many Japanese
political scientists preferred to study other nations. Decade after
decade, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) ruled Japan while the
permanent opposition party, the Japan Socialist Party GSP) revolved
around it but could never even come close to replacing it in power
on the national level. All of this changed in 1993 after the LOP
split, new parties emerged and formed a non-LOP government, and a
new party system began. This book is about the Second Party System
and how Japanese politics has changed from the old LOP-dominated
First Party System.
