| Summary/Abstract |
The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a stunning defeat in the July 2007 upper house elections, creating an unprecedented situation in which the LDP-led coalition lost its majority in the upper house while retaining a two-thirds majority in the lower house. In this new environment of "divided government" Japanese style, the LDP and the opposition jockeyed for advantage in foreign and domestic policy debates while preparing for a critical confrontation in the next lower house election

| Summary/Abstract |
Japan's "lost decade" was actually not lost, because the country's government and industry were quite busy changing, though in distinctively Japanese ways. Japanese firms have tried to enhance flexibility without undermining their existing strengths. Instead of abandoning their stable partnerships with their workers, banks, and suppliers when times were rough, they renegotiated terms with them. This contrasts with American companies, which have been quicker to lay off workers, seek new funding sources, and switch suppliers.
