Japan’s Lower House election last October produced a surprising defeat of the LDP-Komeito ruling coalition, resulting in the minority government of Prime Minister Ishiba. What are the underlying causes of this change and what further repercussions can we expect in the coming months? With the stability of the LDP rule – the hallmark of Japan’s – in doubt, how does that impact Japan’s foreign policy in the face of growing US-China tensions and President Trump’s America First version two? We will discuss these important issues in the context of the anticipated Ishiba-Trump Summit meeting.
