Changing Faces, Same Game? The Japanese Party Leadership Election
In this episode, we delve into the upcoming leadership election of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), set for September 27.
We will explore the election process as well as the leading candidates.
We also touch on the state of Japan's opposition parties and its leadership election.
Finally, I wish to share with you my thoughts on the broader implications of the LDP's enduring dominance, highlighting the challenges of political reform in a system heavily shaped by one-party rule.
