	Japan Socialist Party Summary
		The Japan Socialist Party (日本社会党) (in Japanese Nihon Shakai-to) was a former Japanese political party with a socialist, left-wing ideology, which functioned between 1945 and 1996.
		In 1947, Katayama Tetsu, a Socialist, was elected Prime Minister, and the JSP won a plurality in the Diet of Japan.
		Thus, the New Party Sakigake and JSP left the coalition, while the Communists and Komeito remained in the coalition.

	Japan - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Japan is a unitary state, in which the authority of the central government is superior to that of the country’s prefectural governments.
		Japan’s constitution has not been amended since 1947, although from time to time proposals are introduced to revise some of its provisions, particularly those on demilitarization and the status of the emperor.
		Parties were thus forced to organize intensively at the local level during elections in order to encourage voters to distribute their votes evenly among the party’s candidates.

	Asia Times Online :: Japan News and Japanese Business and Economy
		Japan and the US are now moving to strengthen security and defense ties based on the bilateral security treaty, including the development and deployment of a missile-defense system to counter the threats of missile attacks from North Korea, which has an estimated 200 or so Rodong missiles capable of striking almost all of Japanese territory.
		When he became the first socialist Japanese prime minister in nearly five decades in the mid-1990s, Murayama made an about-face in his socialist party's security policy and declared that his government would accept the existence of the SDF and maintain the Japan-US security alliance.
		The socialist party had been the biggest opposition party for decades after the end of World War II but it is now in danger of extinction due to loss of support.

		Following the defeat of the Japan Socialist Party (JSP) in 1948 at the hands of Japan's two main conservative parties, the Liberal Party and the Democrat Party, the Japan Socialist Party dissolved into chaos and internal bickering between moderates and Marxist-Leninists.
		Both groups claimed the name "Japan Socialist Party" and are known as the Rightist Socialist Party of Japan and Leftist Socialist Party of Japan, respectively.

	Socialist party - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In 1898 the Social Democratic party was formed by a group led by Eugene V. Debs and Victor Berger.
		Two years later, Debs ran for president with the support of the more moderate wing of the Socialist Labor party, and in 1901 this group, led by Morris Hillquit, united with the Social Democratic party to form the Socialist party.
		In 1919 this faction withdrew from the party, thereby substantially weakening it, and formed the Communist party of the United States.

	Interwar Japan
		Japan and Britain, both of whom wanted to keep Russia out of Manchuria, signed the Treaty of Alliance in 1902, which was in effect until in 1921 when the two signed the Four Power Treaty on Insular Possessions, which took effect in 1923.
		The announced goals of the Japan Communist Party in 1923 were an end to feudalism, abolition of the monarchy, recognition of the Soviet Union, and withdrawal of Japanese troops from Siberia, Sakhalin, China, Korea, and Taiwan.
		Japan's military expansionism and quest for national self- sufficiency eventually led the United States in 1940 to embargo war supplies, abrogate a long-standing commercial treaty, and put greater restrictions on the export of critical commodities.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 79
		Japan, at the end of World War II, was forbidden by its victorious occupiers both to fly its flag, the Hinomaru (meaning literally "round sun") and to use its national anthem Kimigayo ("his majestic reign").
		With Japan's defeat in World War II and the enforcement of a new constitution, the status of the emperor changed from "ruler of Japan" to "symbol of the state and of the unity of the people" (Article 1).
		Communist Party Chairman Fuwa said that it was necessary to create a new national flag and anthem that were suitable to the present (democratic and peace-loving) Japan, while the party's General-Secretary Shii stated that it was wrong to initiate the legislation without having discussions with the general public.

		The party platforms were designed to establish a responsible liberalism, to remove sovereignty from the bureaucracy, and thereby to construct a mature civil society in Japan.
		Party officials were also concerned that the United States might have misconstrued the expression to mean that the party was requesting the immediate and complete withdrawal of U.S. forces.
		As a result, the party let itself be swung between the centrifugal forces to move away from the ruling parties and centripetal forces to move closer to the cabinet.

		Japan's political leaders still have no clear plan as to how they are going to compensate the country's politically powerful farmers, who, for instance, are protected by tariffs against foreign rice of up to 406 percent according to the World Bank.
		Japan's main opposition, the Socialist Party, thrived on the support of the labor movement in industrialized areas and in the cities.
		Japan, a nation with few natural resources, imports virtually all of its iron ore. The country had sought a shortening of the grace period set by Mexico for the repeal of tariffs on automobile imports and the deregulation of limits on steel production origins as well.

	94045: Japan's Uncertain Political Transition
		Japan's previous three-party ruling coalition (Jan. 1996-Oct.1996) was under the LDP leader/Prime Minister Hashimoto, who was minister of international trade and industry in the previous administration of Socialist Murayama (June 29, 1994-January 5, 1996).
		Frustrated, the Socialists turned to the obliging LDP that offered to endorse Murayama for premiership in exchange for support of an LDP-dominated coalition (despite intraparty protests that premiership should be reserved for the LDP, not to mention objections by left- and right-wingers within the Socialist party that an "unprincipled alliance" would compromise their "progressive" identity).
		Some analysts suggest that the Socialist party will become irrelevant in time, but that in the short run it is useful to the LDP because without the Socialists on board, the Hashimoto coalition, short of a parliamentary majority, will more likely collapse.

	Liberal Democratic Party of Japan
		In February of 1950, this party cooperated with a pro-coalition faction in the Japan Democratic Party to establish the Liberal Party (Jiyu-to).
		With the exception of the cabinet headed by the Socialist Party of Japan's Tetsu Katayama, which lasted for only eight months from June of 1947 to February of 1948, cabinets were formed and the country was governed by liberal democratic parties.
		Although Japan was to have been ruled "indirectly" by Occupation authorities working through the Japanese government, the instructions and intentions of the Supreme Command of the Allied Powers (SCAP) in fact amounted to "direct" rule.

	Japan - THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY
		The party's fortunes have risen and ebbed: a low point was reached in the July 23, 1989, election to the upper house, when it became, for the first time, a minority party, and again in the July 18, 1993, lower house election, when it lost its simple majority in that body.
		The result of the new amalgamation was a large party that represented a broad spectrum of interests but had minimal organization compared with the socialist and other leftist parties.
		The choice was formally that of a party convention composed of Diet members and local LDP figures, but in most cases, they merely approved the joint decision of the most powerful party leaders.

	E-Notes: Party Politics and Foreign Policy in East Asia
		Parties’ positions on security policy were polarized, with the Japan Socialist Party-led opposition taking to the street to protest LDP priorities, such as strong U.S. ties.
		Any party differences in foreign policy were therefore epiphenomenal consequences of the preferences of leaders who came to power on the strength of their positions on other issues.
		Neither party can afford to ignore rising nationalism, but it is hard to gauge and harness; and stable or centrist party positions on foreign policy have limited purchase among a Korean electorate that, as elsewhere, votes largely on domestic and economic issues.

		No, Japan in 2006 is not a "cia-backed one-party state" and until you can present even the slightest shred of evidence that it is, I would recommend sticking to your usual targets of wishful over-analysis.
		Japan may not have gone communist, but it has been, remains, and will continue to be a deeply collectivist culture.
		The DPJ (or any other party for that matter) could not even begin to hope for such access because, for better or worse, there is no reason for bureaucrats, academics, academia, or even the Japanese people (it can be argued) to work with a party that can't get things done.

		The relation between the two entities is no different from that of a political party and any civil group--such as a labor union, for example--that endorses the party, and it has been established as being constitutionally legitimate.
		It was based on the hope that Japan would never again perpetrate war and repeat the mistakes of its wartime past – a horrific legacy forced upon the Japanese by the militarist government and legitimized at the time through its collaboration with State Shinto.
		The historical context of this question in Japan is clearly different from the issue of separation of religion and state as discussed, say, in Europe.
