Political Reform in Japan: Leadership Looming Large (Routledge Contemporary Japan) (Routledge Contemporary Japan Series) Book

Political Reform in Japan argues that the quality of political leadership is the crucial determinant of whether parties in positions of dominance, like the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, pass or reject policies such as electoral system and campaign finance reforms that could harm the party's future electoral chances.
