Decision-Making Reform in Japan

More about the book

Focusing on Japan's political landscape during the Democratic Party of Japan's administration from 2009 to 2012, the book analyzes the shortcomings in the party's decision-making processes. By employing historical institutionalism, it reveals the DPJ's rigidity in adopting elements of the Westminster system, inconsistencies in decision-making reforms, and a failure to leverage available institutional resources effectively. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by the DPJ in implementing successful policies.
