Legitimacy Deficit in Japan: The Road to True Popular Sovereignty

Abstract

Japan’s path of political renewal offers a long and interesting story, complete with epilogue, of the relationship between economic development and political legitimacy in Asian states. It reveals how economic development and social change can eventually bring about democratic evolution, even in a society inclined to be hierarchical, collective, and resistant to the spread of liberal values.
