It extends quite widely to discussion of the political system, the social and economic environment in which parties operated, internal party matters, especially factions, personal support groups, special interest groups, and the role of government bureaucracy. Overall, the book shows how precedents for the political system and for policy making were set in this important period, precedents which continue, and which have contributed significantly to the present conservative stance on many key issues.Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia ;107.Political partiesJapanHistory20th centuryJapanPolitics and government1945-1989Political partiesHistory324.252324.252Gatu Dagfinn1947-,1670582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956938603321The post-war roots of Japanese political malaise4458754UNINA
