Two years have passed since the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) took power in September 2009, ending the LDP’s political dominance of more than half a century. Many have speculated whether this now represents the nascent emergence of a two party political system in Japan, with alternating domestic and international policies. An interesting question is whether DPJ has modified Japan’s foreign policy from that of the LDP, and, if so, how? A number of substantial issues have emerged in the international and regional arenas over last two years, including the military rise of China, intensified competition over FTAs, and the overall role and presence of the US in East Asia. This seminar will focus on how Japan under DPJ has responded to these structural changes in the region, and whether or not these responses can be characterised as marking radical change or continuity in Japanese foreign policy. |
