Sommario/riassunto

Examines the impact the 1993 general election had on Japanese politics. Although the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) regained the position of a ruling party within a year, the author questions whether the Japanese political system has managed to maintain the same efficacy as it had prior to 1993.
