Japan in 2016: Domestic Political Stability, Greater External Uncertainty

Peng Er Lam

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2017, vol. 09, issue 01, 78-86

Abstract: Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and his allies have unprecedentedly secured a twothirds majority in both houses of parliament, which allows Abe to revise the country’s post-war pacifist constitution and paves the way for Japan to become a “normal” state playing a larger security role in international affairs. Donald Trump’s surprise presidential victory caused great uncertainty in Japan about its alliance with the United States in the midst of a rising China and power transition in East Asia.
