Features: The research object of this book is the post-war Japanese party system, specifically the issue of the Liberal Democratic Party's "one-party dominant system." Systematically studying post-war Japanese party politics and the party system under the title of "one-party dominant system" is still unprecedented in China's academic field of Japanese studies. In post-war Japan, from 1955 to 1993, the Liberal Democratic Party ruled continuously for 38 years as a single-party government. Even after 1993, the Liberal Democratic Party remained in a dominant position within coalition governments, except for a short period, which is rarely seen in Western countries. In recent years, China's introduction and research on post-war Japanese politics have been scattered across various newspapers and magazines. However, systematic research on post-war Japanese politics from the perspective of the party system is still relatively rare. This book, through analyzing the party politics centered around the Liberal Democratic Party, systematically and deeply explores the post-war Japanese party system.
