Presentation
Does the Diet, a symbol of parliamentary democracy in Japan, adequately serve these functions in Japan?
Does the Diet, a place of debate for citizens' representatives, a symbol of parliamentary democracy, adequately serve these functions in Japan? This book, aimed at any citizen interested in the underlying mechanics and the making of public debate, takes the reader on an encounter with a democracy little studied by general political science: Japan. It explores the highly symbolic angle of parliament to "uncover" the mysteries of its political system. And its shortcomings... which give relief to our own.
