Decentralized policymaking power in Japan had developed under the
reign of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), yet in the1990s,
institutional changes fundamentally altered Japan's political
landscape. Tomohito Shinoda tracks these developments in the
operation of and tensions between Japan's political parties and the
public's behavior in elections, as well as in the government's
ability to coordinate diverse policy preferences and respond to
political crises. The selection of Junichiro Koizumi, an
anti-mainstream politician, as prime minister in 2001 initiated a
power shift to the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and ended LDP
rule. Shinoda details these events and Prime Minister Koizumi's use
of them to practice strong policymaking leadership. He also
outlines the institutional initiatives introduced by the DPJ
government and their impact on policymaking, illustrating the
importance of balanced centralized institutions and bureaucratic
support.
