A grand stitch-up or an election?
A grand stitch-up or an election?The prime minister’s opponents want a grand coalition. That’s a terrible idea WHEN Naoto Kan moved into the prime minister's office a year ago, his wife, Nobuko, joked that she had packed only their summer clothes, fearing he would not survive for long. In fact, he has outlasted his four predecessors and, since March 11th, steered Japan through its worst disaster s
震災後の日本の政治：大連立か選挙か JBpress(日本ビジネスプレス)
（英エコノミスト誌 2011年6月11日号） 菅首相の反対派は大連立を望んでいる。それはとんでもない考えだ。 1年前、菅直人首相が首相官邸に引っ越した時、妻の伸子さんは、政権が長続きしないかもしれないから夏服しか持ってきていないと冗談を言った。 実際には、菅首相は前任の4人より長く総理の座にとどまり、3月11日の大震災以降は第2次大戦以来最悪の災禍にあって日本の舵取りをしてきた。しかし、首相に残された時間は少ない。策士たちは今、菅内閣に代わる政権として「大連立」を模索している。 大連立は、菅首相率いる民主党に実権を奪われた旧支配層にとっては名案かもしれない。旧来勢力は、再び権力を味わうという考えを楽しんでいる。しかし、そうした人々に政権の座を与えることは、日本にとって大変な後戻りだ。 現在の政治的な混乱の責任は、菅首相を含むすべての関係者にある。地震と津波、原発事故の最中において、菅首相の

役に立たない日本の政治 日本を復興するのか、破滅させるのか JBpress(日本ビジネスプレス)
（英エコノミスト誌 2011年4月30日号） 国の未来が見えない中でも、日本の政治家は自分のことばかり考えている。 3月11日、福島第一原子力発電所が地震と津波に襲われ、原子炉が機能停止に陥った直後、一帯に設置されていた放射性物質の測定装置が1台を除いて全滅した。そこで東京の監督官庁は、放射能漏れの深刻度を測定する計器を積んだ車を送り出した。 福島第一原発を運営する東京電力の監督役に先頃任命された細野豪志首相補佐官の話によると、困ったことに、この車は渋滞に巻き込まれてしまった。さらに津波の影響で全国的な燃料不足が発生する中、車がガス欠に陥った。そのため、政府は測定任務を断念した。 その後、政府は福島第一原発事故の深刻度は25年前に起きたチェルノブイリ原発事故と同じレベルに相当すると宣言したが、細野補佐官によると、放射性物質の放出量に関する確かなデータが得られるまでに7ないし10日を要したと

Al Kamen - Among leaders at summit, Hu's first
After all the chatter about nukes, loose and otherwise, 36 heads of state are heading home from Washington to tout their world leadership chops and their influence with the Obama administration. The winners at this week's nuclear summit were easily identified: They were the ones who got bilats with President Obama -- not a bodybuilding term, it stands for bilateral, or one-on-one, chat -- showing

分裂寸前の自民党よ、気を取り直せ＝２大政党制実現の出発点−英紙が社説 分裂寸前の自民党よ、気を取り直せ＝２大政党制実現の出発点−英紙が社説 【ロンドン時事】２９日付の英紙フィナンシャル・タイムズは、日本の自民党の分裂状態を社説で取り上げ、「同党が（野党転落のショックから）気を取り戻して立ち直れば、政権政党の民主党も同様にしっかりした姿勢を余儀なくされるかもしれない」と指摘。２大政党システム実現のためには「まずそれがスタート」と論じた。 同社説はこの中で、２大政党制の実現という目標は達成されていないとし、「直接的な原因は自民党が分裂の危機にあることだ」と指摘。「首尾一貫したイデオロギーに向け合流するどころか、一層ばらばらになっている」とした。そして、民主党に至っては、「権力を掌握したにもかかわらず、その政策上の立場は強固になっておらず、米軍基地再編問題や郵政民営化の逆転といった重要な争点で
Joseph Nye - An Alliance Larger Than One Issue - NYTimes.com
Cambridge, Mass. SEEN from Tokyo, America’s relationship with Japan faces a crisis. The immediate problem is deadlock over a plan to move an American military base on the island of Okinawa. It sounds simple, but this is an issue with a long back story that could create a serious rift with one of our most crucial allies. When I was in the Pentagon more than a decade ago, we began planning to reduce
Roger Cohen - Obama's Japan Headache - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com
TOKYO � President Obama has a Japan problem. I know, it’s not an issue that keeps him up at night. But when U.S. ties with its most important Asian ally get ugly over security rather than semiconductors, the world must be changing. Certainly Japan is. Having voted out the shoguns of the Liberal Democratic Party who ruled for more than a half-century, and declared war on the bureaucracy that grease
Fred Hiatt - Does Japan still matter?
TOKYO U.S.-Japan relations are in "crisis," Japan's foreign minister told me Thursday -- but I would guess that few Americans have noticed, let alone felt alarm. As China rises, Japan's economy has stalled, and its population is dwindling. The island nation -- feared during the last century first as a military power, then as an economic conqueror -- barely registers in the American imagination. Bu

President Obama lands in Tokyo this week as U.S.-Japan relations hit their lowest point in years. The president will meet with Japan’s new government, representing the first opposition party to take power in over a half-century. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party of Japan is finding little common ground early on with the Democratic president of the United States. President Obama’s ability to smoo
Sheila A. Smith - A new way forward for the U.S. and Japan
T he historic political transition underway in Tokyo is rattling Washington and has produced a puzzling rigidity in an administration known for its capacity for reaching out to the world. President Obama's visit to Asia offers a much-needed opportunity to calm and energize the U.S.-Japan relationship. In Tokyo, the president should aim at restoring faith in Washington's ability to adjust to Japan'
