Politics, Power and Parties in Japan Philipps-Universität Marburg, 1990

Lecture given at Philipps-Universität, Marburg, May 1989 (Center for Japanese Studies, Occasional Papers, 1990)

THE SUBJECT of this talk is the Japanese political system, and my intention is to give an analysis of the nature of the system, the way politics works in Japan and in particular the ways in which politics and the political system have been changing over the period since the 1950s.
