The Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won at the beginning of September a strong victory in the country’s parliamentary elections, putting an end to almost half a century of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) rule. According to the Economist, \u00abthe rejection of the LDP is a culmination of deep changes in Japan’s political culture\u00bb and \u00abby overthrowing the LDP, Japan’s voters have turfed out not just a party but a whole system.\u00bb1<\/p>\n

The LDP took power in the aftermath of the Second World War promoting, as a consequence of the cold-war, a pro-American and pro-business agenda that lasted more than fifty years. However, with the mid-1990’s electoral reform, the party’s paternalism was gradually challenged by consumer interests and non-profit groups. Today, the party only keeps 119 seats out of 480 in the lower house of the Diet.2<\/p>\n

Yukio Hatoyama was chosen as the new Prime Minister and one of his first initiatives has been to create a coalition between the Social Democrat Party and the People’s New Party, led respectively by Mizuho Fukushima and Shizuka Kame. He has also promised a strong shift in the government’s priorities: \u00abWhere the LDP looked after producers’ interests, the DPJ says it will put consumers first. It also says it will steer the economy away from export-led growth towards domestic demand.\u00bb3 The new PM has guaranteed cash allowances for families with children as well as a diminution in the power of the bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

This new vision of an open and accountable government in the world’s second biggest economy will quickly be put under practice. The new leading party has made clear its awareness of the coming challenges it will have to face, such as the need to deal with a significant ageing population and an economy strongly weakened by the global recession. Hatoyama has also announced its will to create stronger ties with Washington. \u00abBut he said he wanted a relationship in which Japan \u00abcan act more proactively and tell them our opinions frankly\u00bb, adding that his party’s position on reviewing deals relating to the US troop presence had not changed\u00bb.4<\/p>\n
