Recenzii

The editors have assembled several distinguished political scientists to provide an exceptionally rigorous but highly readable account of the 2012 election and its implications. The coverage is comprehensive; the analysis incisive; the information revealing. A must for all who want to understand the direction in which Japanese politics is headed.
