Looking for leadership

de Ryo Sahashi, James Gannon

"Democratic leaders around the globe are finding it increasingly difficult to exercise strong leadership and maintain public support. Nowhere has this proven to be as challenging as in Japan, which has seen its prime ministers change more often over the past quarter century than any other major country. Why have they found it so difficult to project strong leadership, or even stay in office? Is this changing? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? In this volume, authors who straddle the scholarly and policymaking worlds explore Japan's quest for leadership and explain what is at stake."
