| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A little like Britain’s Conservative party, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party exists to govern, rather than being animated by a single ideological mission.
Always a broad church of competing ideas – in domestic affairs, at times favouring paternalistic interventionist government, or small-scale deregulation; in foreign policy, fluctuating between alliance-focused proactivism and UN-centered non-interventionism – the party has pursued different approaches depending on the political mood at home and the predisposition of individual leaders. |
