Summary / Abstract (Note)After a half-century or more of almost single-party rule by the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Party came to power in Japan in September 2009. The Japanese people had great hopes for the DPJ where revival of the country was concerned, but a little over a year after the Democrats' resounding victory it was clear that they were incapable of solving a number of long-standing social and economic problems, and were committing one grievous error after another in foreign policy. The author concludes that as the electorate's disappointment and dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's actions grows, its prospects increasingly wane.
