AsiaCentre

Founded in 2005, Asia Centre is an independent research institute that holds debates and issues publications on matters relating to international, strategic, economic relations, as well as the political and social transformations underway in the Asia-Pacific region. At the crossroads of university research as well as public and private decision-making, Asia Centre researchers identify critical regional issues and analyse them in-depth, taking into consideration both local and global dimensions. Asia Centre’s programs are developed with a vast network of partners, companies and major specialist centres in Europe, North America and Asia. The Centre carries out joint operations with these groups, for a better interpretation of ideas and issues. The conclusions of these meetings, such as the results of the work carried out using original sources by our researchers, are widely distributed through the Centre’s publications as well as through international journals, books and media.

JA 28 – Return to the Past? Japan in the Aftermath of the Parliamentary Elections of 16 December 2012 – Dec 2012

On 16 December 2012 the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan won a landslide majority in the parliamentary elections. While this result was expected, it represents more of a backlash against the Democratic Party of Japan who were not able to meet voters’ expectations when faced with the legacy of several decades of LDP government and the economic, ecological and international context of 2011 and 2012, rather than support for the announced return of Abe Shinzō as Prime Minister following his unpopularity and departure in 2007.
