Japan in 2016: Shifts in Domestic Politics amid Shifts in Regional Landscape
Valero, Valerie Anne Jill I. | January 2017
Abstract
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won the elections in July in convincing fashion, effectively ensuring policies and initiatives es-poused by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet little to no resistance in the Diet. LDP managed to capture majority of the seats in both the House of Representatives and House of Councillors, an unprecedented achievement in Japanese electoral politics.
With the Diet firmly behind him, Abe can be expected to carry on with his domestic and foreign initiatives and policies. His Proac-tive Contribution to Peace policy, for instance, can be expected to continue. He can also be expected to push for, if not explore, certain developments or changes, such as constitutional revision.
