Abstract

This study identifies the politicians (Diet members) who significantly influenced higher education in post-war Japan and examines their statements through content analysis. Furthermore, it explains the political actors who influenced higher education and the types of political agendas that have been discussed during the 65 years since the war ended. The following results were obtained from the analysis. 1）I identified the 376 Diet members who made statements in educational sub-committees in the Diet from 1945 to 2012. 2）I divided them into three groups (core, middle, and peripheral) on the basis of the number of their statements. 3）The 1960s through the first half of 1970s exhibited the most active discussion of higher education, which declined thereafter. 4）During the period studied, the politicians often discussed expansion and improvement of the higher education system, but since the latter half of the 2000s, they have primarily addressed education itself and students.
