[Part 1 of 2] You thought the US or Europe was in political disarray? Wait until you hear about the most recent devastating elections in Japan that cost the long-term ruling party its majority in parliament and what that this means for the future of policy making in Tokyo.

Today I'm talking to Dr. Yuichi Hosoya, who is a professor of international politics at Keio University in Tokyo—Japan’s most prestigious private university. Previously, Professor Hosoya was also a member of the Advisory Board at Japan’s National Security Council and part of several advisory panels to the Prime Minister on issues like reconstruction, security, and defence.
