Description
Is Britain "turning Jaanese"? By the time of the next election, the Conservatives will have been in power for nearly 20 years. The opposition appears powerless. Important political debates - over Europe, economic policy and "the new world order" - take place within the ruling Conservative Party. Has Britain - like Japan - developed a dominant party system? If so, what are the implications for democracy in Britain? This collection features leading commentators who explore the foundations of Conservative ascendancy, tease out the lessons from Japan, and assess the options for opposition parties struggling to break the mould. The contributors include Vernon Bogdanor, John Curtis, Patrick Dunleavy, Peter Hennessy, Katsuya Hirose, William Horsley, Charles Kennedy, David Marquand, Ryoichi Nishida, Philip Norton, Brendan O'Leary and Robert Walter.
