Opposition Politics in Japan

The Liberal Democratic Party remained in power continuously between 1955 and 1993. In this groundbreaking study of the dominance of the LDP in Japanese politics over the last forty years, Opposition Politics in Japan examines the challenges which were mounted against this regime and explores why they failed. Subjects covered include:

• Opportunities for a united opposition during the 1970s
• Ideological, organisational and electoral aspects of the oppositions lack of response to such opportunities
• The causes of opposition fragmentation
• Attempts at coalition
• The influence of the trade unions
• The importance of organisational factors
• The influence, if any, of the oppositions Marxist tendencies

A highly original and thorough exploration of the issues, Opposition Politics in Japan is essential reading for all those interested in Japanese politics.

Stephen Johnson has spent nine years studying Japan, including four as a doctoral student at Pembroke College, Oxford. He currently works for Daiwa Europe Ltd. His previous publications include articles for Japan Forum.
