Jap Politics
According to Webster democracy is a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodic elections. The question at hand is does this apply to Japan, or more specifically postwar Japan? If this isn’t what Japan has then what type of government do they have? Garon and Mochizuki argue that it has been a managed form of democracy. What exactly is a managed democracy? These are the questions that I hope to answer. Garon and Mochizuki were describing the business like structure of the Japanese political system when they called it a managed democracy. This means that the democracy in Japan is a somewhat controlled system. The people don’t really have any power; the members of the Diet control the government on their own terms. What they are basically saying is Japan doesn’t really have a democracy, but if that’s what it must be called then it should have the “managed” tagged to it for warning. Are Garon and Mochizuki correct in their statement? Yes, I believe that they have accurately described how Japan’s government operates. Japan uses a system of “Democracy”, that doesn’t really fit the definition.
