Innovative Policies Initiated by Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Japan and some of their innovative policies. Since the formation of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Japan in 1955 resulting from the unification of several small conservative parties, the LDP has managed to initiate several innovative economic and national policies which have allowed Japan to recover from its post World War II depressive economy. The LDP, although conservative in nature, has adapted many international political techniques, both conservative and socialist, to improve the economy in Japan to the extent that it is now one of the leading industrialized nations in the world. The LDP government’s policies have involved a great deal of cooperative measures which allow for the support of large industries, small businesses, farming and support of a welfare system. In all cases, the government’s role has been to aid and support the increased economy in Japan and spurring the nation into total employment. In times of decreased support of the agricultural and small business industries in other countries in the West, Japan increased their support of farmers and small business which resulted in growth and prosperity in both cases. The LDP has also responded to political and popular pressure in regards to welfare and now has a health care program that is higher than most others in the world. This flexible conservatism is no doubt what is the secret of the success of the LDP and also the success of Japan’s recovery and solid economic standing on the world stage.
