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. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the modern history of Asia ;$v107. 606 $aPolitical parties$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 615 0$aPolitical parties$xHistory 676 $a324.252 676 $a324.252 700 $aGatu$b Dagfinn$f1947-,$01670582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956938603321 996 $aThe post-war roots of Japanese political malaise$94458754 997 $aUNINA
