Poritical situation of Japan
Japan is moving toward a two-party system comprised of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Democratic Party of Japan. The international environment surrounding Japan has changed drastically in the last ten years. In the midst of economic globalization, the laws and systems adopted by a given nation have even more impact than before on whether that nation's economy prospers or founders.
To strengthen their international competitiveness, corporations are seriously engaged in managerial reforms and research-and-development, but to reap the rewards of those efforts, they must have laws and systems in place that will support corporate activity. Japanese government has to be responsible to the reform. In nations under parliamentary democracy such as Japan, political parties have an important role to play and they are called upon to formulate and implement policies with enough speed to accommodate the rapid changes occurring in the world economy.
