What’s wrong with Japan? Many have wondered in recent years what has happened to the vaunted economic superpower of the 1980s and early 1990s? Mired in a decade or more recession, faced with the largest public debt in the world, and a rapidly aging population, many believe it is the economics and demographics that have doomed Japan. Professor Krauss argues instead that these problems are possibly manageable were it not for the politics and political institutions in Japan today. Fundamental reforms in the 1990s to the electoral system and the bureaucracy that held the potential to make Japan into a more effective and "normal" democracy have instead, with one exception, produced poor political leadership, the inability to reform, and stalemate. Krauss explores why and how this has occurred and the structural and political obstacles to meeting those challenges better.
Talk by Professor Ellis S. Krauss, School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, University of California, San Diego.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
