Is There Any Threat to the LDP Rule?
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of sustainability of the political power system that has evolved in Japan after 2012. The author makes an attempt to examine the factors of the paradoxical popularity of Abe cabinets against the background of the split in public opinion towards the key issues of state policy. Among these factors, the article highlights Abe’s skillful use of the slogan style of communication with society, the mobilization of media capabilities to create an image of Abe as the ‘savior’ of Japan in the face of globalization challenges and threats, as well as systemic weakness of the opposition. However, the LDP faces a serious management crisis and in future will be forced to seek a new formula for transferring power to the next generation of political leaders.
