Parliamentary elections in Japan: Motives, Outcomes, Consequences
Abstract
The decision of the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe to hold in October 2017 pre-term parliamentary elections has caused controversy in the country. However, the ruling coalition led by Abe won a landslide victory, while the opposition camp failed to counter effectively. This will allow Abe to pursue more consistently and resolutely his goals in domestic and foreign policy, as well as economy.
