	Politics of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan was occupied by the Allies from the end of World War II in 1945 until 1952.
		The Imperial Household of Japan is headed by the Emperor of Japan.
		Political scientist T.J. Pempel has pointed out that the concentration of political and economic power in Tokyo—particularly the small geographic area of its central wards—makes it easy for leaders, who are almost without exception denizens of the capital, to have repeated personal contact.

	Japan Omnibus - Politics - Government
		Officially, Japan is a constitutional monarchy with the emperor as the head of state.
		Political news often dominates TV and newspapers but most Japanese do not get directly involved in politics and there seems to be a general sense of apathy towards the subject.
		Japan is divided into 47 prefectures, and local administration is conducted at the levels of prefectural, city, town, and village governments, each with their respective assemblies.

	Japan Politics
		There is still dispute as to whether Japan is a constitutional monarchy or a republic.
		Japan no longer officially has the traditional federal system, and its 47 prefectures depend on the central government for subsidies.
		Japan's judicial system, drawn from customary law, civil law, and Anglo-American common law, consists of several levels of courts, with the Supreme Court as the final judicial authority.

	The Globalist \| Global Politics -- How Japan Embraces China
		If Japan is emerging from thralldom to the United States and the mystique of America, it appears that the Japanese are also reengaging with China on multiple levels.
		The growing interdependence of their two economies appears to be revitalizing a cultural bond between China and Japan that is deeply rooted in 1,500 years of tradition.
		None of this is intended to suggest that Japan and China are about to become “one another’s best.” But a communality among the societies of Asia constructed around a partnership between Japan and China makes economic and political sense.

	Diet of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan's parallel voting system is not to be confused with the Additional Member System used in many other nations.
		The Constitution of Japan does not specify the number of members of each house of the Diet, the voting system, or the necessary qualifications of those who may vote or be returned in parliamentary elections, thus allowing all of these things to be determined by law.
		Unlike Japan's modern constitution, the Meiji constitution granted a real political role to the Emperor, although in practice the Emperor's powers were largely directed by a group of oligarchs called the genro.

	Introduction to Japan's Political Parties: 1874-1998
		Currently Japanese political alignments are undergoing a vigorous transition that has resulted in the emergence of a number of new parties.
		In June 1994, faced with the adoption of a nonconfidence motion submitted by the LDP in a plenary session of the House of Representatives, the cabinet resigned, and the JRP withdrew to the opposition.
		The new political groupings largely mirror the old and ideologically diverse forces that banded together in December 1994 as a challenge to the dominant LDP.

	Politics in Japan--Update
		That said, the economy remains quite fragile, and most observers are convinced that a return to a "Japan, Inc" that seemed close to global domination is out of the cards.
		The most prominent of these in 1997 was the trial of Yasuo Hamanaka who pled guilty to embezzling billions of dollars from the Sumitomo Bank's copper futures funds.
		And, a new issue (for Japan that is) gained added prominence--the economic and social status of women.

		WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Japan rejected a box of U.S. roast beef that was mistakenly included in a shipment of pork and turkey, a "minor incident" that should not interfere with resumption of beef exports to Tokyo, the U.S. Agriculture Department said on Friday.
		Japan has banned U.S. beef for 30 of the last 31 months due to fear of mad cow disease.
		Japan agreed in June on steps that will lead to resumption of beef trade, beginning with audits of three dozen U.S. beef export plants by Japanese officials set to be completed next week.

		Japan is considering allowing imports from the remaining 33 U.S. beef plants to restart.

	Japan Omnibus - Politics - Political Parties
		People used to the stable and long-established political parties of the UK or USA may be surprised at the regular shifting of Japanese party politics.
		The LDP was born when the Liberal Party merged with the newly-created Japan Democratic Party in 1955 and, under Yoshida Shigeru, became the dominant political force in postwar Japan.
		Popular Prime Ministers Tanaka Kakuei and Nakasone Yasuhiro were just two of many leading LDP politicians involved in major scandals: the former was prosecuted as a result of the Lockheed scandal in 1976 while the latter was implicated in the Recruit scandal in 1988.

		Japan probably also leads the world in the translation of works by foreign scholars and novelists.
		Most of the classics of Western political thought, such as The Republic by Plato and Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, for example, are available in Japanese.
		Although the media have played a major role in exposing political scandals, some critics have accused the large newspapers, ostensibly oppositionist, of being little more than a conduit of government ideas to the people.

	Term paper on Language, religion and politics of Japan
		Japan's two traditional religions are Shinto, the indigenous religion that is as old as the Japanese people, and Buddhism, which came to Japan from China in the 6th century.
		Political systems exist in all parts of the world and in these parts there are myriads of different languages that are spoken.
		Political and religion interdependence can be seen in western democracies where there is freedom of choice in respect of following a particular religion and also in the degree to which a person chooses to practice his religion.

		The irony is the poor performance of the DPJ opposition will create another virtual monopoly in Japanese politics – a loss for democracy and for the competition in ideas that has driven Japan to a point of reform.
		When the Socialist Party of Japan (JSP) took power at the head of a coalition government in 1994, they ran a terrible government with no direction that floundered for a few years before the people grugingly returned the LDP to power.
		Remember that Koizumi’s crushing victory is compounded by the fact that it all began with him expelling no fewer than 30 members of his own party, and replacing many of the old politicians with reform-minded youngsters.

	Reviews Broadcasting Politics in Japan
		Ellis Krauss, in his excellent book Broadcasting Politics in Japan: NHK and Television News, argues that NHK has adopted an extremely rigorous neutrality that borders on the anaemic.
		At another level, NHK executives are more-or-less polished political operators who head an important public organisation and who consequently face enormous political pressure.
		Their success or failure in reaching the top posts in NHK depends on their links with particular factions or tribes within the LDP, tying executives into a particular relationship with elected representatives.

		NIMBY Politics in Japan is the first detailed account in English of energy siting disputes in postwar Japan.
