Farm Politics

Albrecht Rothacher ()

Chapter 7 in Japan’s Agro-Food Sector, 1989, pp 108-130 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Japan’s post-war political system centred around an uneasy coalition of the ruling LDP, organized business interests, and the central government bureaucracy, whose policies were supported by an essentially conservative electorate. In agricultural policies this basic equation becomes troubled through the inclusion of the agricultural lobby, as organized by Zenchu, whose protectionist policies are opposed by big business — voiced by Keidanren, Japan’s industrial federation.
