The Abe Administration and the Rise of the Prime Ministerial Executive (Routledge Focus on Asia Book 1)

Aurelia George Mulgan

4.9/5 (32334 ratings)

Description:With the advent of the second Abe administration, the question of 'who governs' in Japan became much clearer to define. Namely, the Prime Minister and his executive office, backed by a substantial policy support apparatus, has grown considerably over the past decade. This has led to one of the most important structural changes in Japan's political process in the post-war period - the rise of the 'prime ministerial executive'.The book highlights the main factors behind this rise of the 'prime ministerial executive' in Japan, explaining how it operates under the Abe administration and how it is contributing to Abe's unprecedented policymaking authority. It demonstrates how reform of central government under Prime Ministers Nakasone, Hashimoto and Koizumi has produced the necessary constitutional innovations to allow the Prime Minister to assert policy leadership in a much more prominent way, turning Japan's traditional, decentralised and bottom-up politics on its head. Comparing the Westminster and Presidential systems of governance and applying them to the Japanese context, it nevertheless shows that despite recent changes, elements of both remain and this continues to define the Japanese style of government.Providing a thorough analysis of how power relations have been significantly altered in recent years, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Japanese Politics, Comparative Politics and Asian Studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
