Global Comparative Politics (4) Luca Verzichelli University of Siena Master Program Public and Cultural Diplomacy (LM-81)

Predominance of non-democratic regimes in the West-Asia Problems of state stability in this area (as well as in the MENA) Difficult consolidation of rule of law Eurasia (FH 2016)

Asia-Pacific (FH, 2016) More compound situation in Asia-Pacific Long-established democratic polities Post-colonial democratic regimes Recent wave of democratization Persistence of examples of purely authoritarian regimes Asia-Pacific (FH, 2016)

The East-Asian Sphere Liberal Democracy (FH: 1-2) Electoral Democracy Electoral Authoritarianism Politically closed authoritarianism Japan Mongolia Malaysia Brunei S. Korea Indonesia Singapore Vietnam Philippines Cambodia China Timor-Leste Laos Thailand Burma North Korea

Japan Imperial heritage 1945: The big loss An American constitution Debate on neutrality and external action

The Classic party System and the new era Centrality of LDP (liberal-democratic party) Traditional left opposition (Jsp - Jcp) Other traditional streams (Democratic party, Komeito) LdP defeat in 1995 and the alternance (after the introduction of a mixed-majoritarian electoral system) A new LdP era? Yes, but grounded on coalition governments

Form of government Classic parliamentarism. Asymmetric bicameralism. Role of interest groups Centrality of National institution. Relative impact of local politics Growing role of executive leaders (presidentialization of politics?)

An elite approach to the study of Japanese political system (Schmidt 2005) A study on the elite structure and interactions based on Giddens. Political + social elite Interviews and career profile Legitimation Integration

Implications from this study Japan as a stable elite system. Elite configurations reflect social, structural, cultural and political structures of Japanese society Importance of Dynasties no group clearly dominates within the establishment (interlocking directorates of elite groups) high degree of sectorial variation Importance of economic elite in politics Not a monopolistic elite
