Sibylline Podcast – Japan – Economic and foreign policy continuity expected during Abe’s highly anticipated final term

8 minutes

Incumbent Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is highly likely to win tomorrow’s party leadership contest, thus enabling him to retain the premiership for a third and final term.

In this podcast, we discuss what such an outcome will mean for Japan’s economic, foreign and defence policy, and how this will impact Japan’s socio-economic health as well as the broader regional environment.

Key points include:

Why Abe’s victory seems so certain

The challenges to Abe’s attempts at economic reform

A likely continuation in Japan’s pragmatic foreign policy

Anticipated resistance to attempted constitutional change

We hope you enjoy the podcast and welcome questions and feedback. Please get in touch at [email protected]
