Founded in 1975, the thrust of the Forum's work is to help develop cooperative policies in the Asia-Pacific region through debate and analyses undertaken with the region's leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. The Forum's programs encompass current and emerging issues in political, security, economic/business, and oceans policy issues. It collaborates with a network of more than 30 research institutes around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating its projects' findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and publics throughout the region. An international Board of Governors guides the Pacific Forum’s work; it is chaired by Brent Scowcroft, former Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The Forum is funded by grants from foundations, corporations, individuals, and governments, the latter providing a small percentage of the forum’s $1.2 million annual budget.

The End of Liberal Democratic Party-Led Politics?: from the Point of View of Political Clientelism and Corruption
The End of Liberal Democratic Party-led Title Politics? : From the Point of View of Political Clientelism and Corruption Author(s) Kawata, Junichi Citation Osaka University Law Review. 58 P.1-P.26 Issue Date 2011-02 Text Version publisher URL http://hdl.handle.net/11094/10854 DOI rights Note Osaka University Knowledge Archive : OUKA https://ir.library.osaka-u.ac.jp/ Osaka University OSAKA UNIVERSITYOSAKA LAW UNIVERSITY REVIEW No. LAW 58 (February REVIEW No.2011) 58 1-26 (February 2011) 1 The End of Liberal Democratic Party-led Politics? : From the Point of View of Political Clientelism and Corruption Junichi KAWATA* The House of Representative election was held on August 30, 2009 in the midst of falling approval ratings for the Aso Cabinet. The leading opposition Democratic Party of Japan swept to a land-mark victory at the polls, replacing the 10-year-old coalition of the LDP and New Komeito. The LDP lost its status as the largest force in the Lower House for the first time since its inauguration in 1955. The DPJ President, Yukio Hatoyama, was elected Prime Minister on September 16 and he formed a DPJ-led government in coalition with the Social Democratic Party and Kokuminshinto. Hatoyama emphasized his resolve to break away from the convention of overly depending on bureaucrats in governmental decision-making and to break away from the so-called 1955 system in which the LDP’s zokugiin, i.e., political tribes in a specific policy area, had been parasitic with bureaucrats. On the basis of zokugiin politics, we have identified two-tiered clientelism in which LDP’s politicians with their koenkai’s supports have steadfastly endeavored to return public-works projects and to offer grants-in-aid to local industries, contractors, and their constituents.

Ambassador Yanai Sees Close Cooperation in 2000
Japan Information and Culture Center, AMBASSADOR YANAI SEES EMBASSY OF JAPAN CLOSE COOPERATION IN 2000 It is my great pleasure to extend my best wishes to the readers of Japan Now for a very happy new year. As the new Ambassador to the United States, my resolution for the new I year is to do my best to further strengthen this most important bilateral relationship in the world. Looking back over the past year of Japan-U.S. relations, it was a year in which our political and security relations remained sound and forward-looking. Last May, Prime Minister Obuchi and President Clinton confirmed that Japan-U.S. relations were in their best shape ever. They set as their common agenda for the 21st century to cooperate even more closely to build a peaceful and more prosperous world. In the area of security, among others, Japan passed legislation related to the “Guidelines for Japan-U.S. Defense Cooperation.” This enables Japan to provide even better support to operations of U.S. forces, including the area of rear support, under the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. Politically, Japan and the United States are carrying out close and sincere consultations on a variety of issues, such JAN. 2000 as the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Tripartite cooperation among Japan, the U.S. and the ROK has resulted in positive development in 1 our discussions with North Korea. Japan-U.S. bilateral cooperation is CONTENTS also at work in various regions around the world such as Kosovo and East Timor. Thankfully the U.S.

Country Report Japan at a Glance: 2003-04
Country Report September 2003 Japan Japan at a glance: 2003-04 OVERVIEW The prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, should win the September Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leadership election, although a small margin of victory may reduce his political authority within the party. The LDP is likely to win the next lower house election, reflecting both Mr Koizumi!s public popularity and the party!s well-organised grass-roots organisation. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that real GDP will grow by 2% in 2003 and by 1.6% in 2004. Growth will be supported by a recovery in domestic demand. Consumer prices will fall by an average of 0.3% in 2003 and 0.5% in 2004. Large current- account surpluses will be recorded in both years. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Mr Koizumi indicated in mid-August that he would be prepared to include some of his opponents within the LDP in the cabinet at the next reshuffle, provided they are willing to commit to his reform programme. This was most likely an attempt to divide his opponents ahead of the September 20th party leadership election. Economic policy outlook • The government approved the guidelines of the budget for fiscal year 2004/05 (April-March) in late July. Overall spending is slated to rise by 5% to ¥85.7trn (US$726bn), but discretionary spending is likely to remain flat. Economic forecast • Following the release of GDP data for the second quarter of 2003, we have made extensive revisions to growth forecasts for 2003-04. This largely reflects revised assumptions about prospects for domestic demand.

Yoshiro Mori
Yoshiro Mori Japón, Primer ministro Duración del mandato: 05 de Abril de 2000 - de de Nacimiento: Neagari, prefectura de Ishikawa, región de Chubu, 14 de Julio de 1937 Partido político: Jiminto Profesión : Periodista ResumenHijo de un veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que durante muchos años fue alcalde de la ciudad de Neagari, estudió en la Escuela de Comercio de la Universidad Waseda de Tokyo, uno de los centros que tradicionalmente han formado a las elites de Japón y concretamente a los líderes del Partido Liberal Democrático (Jiyu Minshuto o Jiminto), la fuerza dominante en la política nipona desde su fundación en 1955. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 5 Biografía En Waseda frecuentó los clubs en que los estudiantes intercambiaban sus ideas políticas, como la sociedad de oratoria, verdadera cantera de dirigentes del Jiminto y donde conoció a los también futuros primeros ministros Noboru Takeshita y Keizo Obuchi, respectivamente su profesor y condiscípulo. En 1960, nada más licenciarse, fue contratado por el periódico ultraconservador Sankei Shimbun para cubrir información financiera en una de sus publicaciones, el Japan Industrial Journal. A lo largo de su carrera periodística, Mori estuvo en contacto con destacados responsables empresariales, como Soichiro Honda, y de ahí se interesó por la política. En 1962 dejó el diario para convertirse en secretario de un diputado de la Dieta y en 1969, con 32 años, él mismo se presentó como candidato independiente por su prefectura natal de Ishikawa. Pese a su juventud y a no contar con cobertura partidista, ganó en la primera vuelta, la que iba a ser primera de diez elecciones consecutivas.
