AB - This study examines the transformation of Japanese politics within the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the evolution of civil society, focusing on Non-Profit Organization (NPO) policy processes and lobbying activities during coalition governments. The goal is to explore the mechanisms behind the political activation of civil society in the 1990s, a time when the LDP’s dominance waned, and its impact on policy-making. It investigates how civic groups, previously limited in influence under the ‘55-year system,’ initiated changes post-1990s.
The study highlights the shift from external lobbying by civic groups during the LDP, Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Sakigake coalition to becoming stakeholders within the system under the LDP and Komeito coalition. The analysis focuses on how the relationship between political parties and civil society during the LDP coalition led to policy changes affecting civil society.
Chapter 2 discusses the institutional conditions for NPO policy-making during the LDP, SDP, and Sakigake coalition, emphasizing the external lobbying by civic groups allied with regime liberals. Chapter 3 explores the reorganization of the NPO policy-making system under the conservative LDP and Komeito coalition, detailing the institutionalization of civic groups as stakeholders through internal lobbying. The study concludes that civic groups, once external reformers, became integrated stakeholders in the policy-making process under the LDP and Komeito coalition.
