Fumio Kishida and Japan’s Changing Politics
Manage episode 306796597 series 2902477
On October 31st, Japan held a general election to determine the make-up of its lower house of parliament. It was also an opportunity for the ruling party’s new leader Fumio Kishida to gauge his popularity and determine the size of his government’s mandate. What do the results of this election mean for Japanese domestic policy, who exactly is Prime Minister Kishida, and how will Japanese foreign policy change in the coming months and years. To answer these questions and more, we are joined by Dr. Sheila Smith, a senior fellow for Asia Pacific Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
