Dear SSJJ Colleagues:

For the sake of continuing the dialogue and exchange on the SSJJ group around last month’s Election, here is my analysis with a summary of facts, causes, and possible implications:

(and if you wish to see a parallel political economy analysis of the 19th Party Congress from last month in China, here is the companion piece:

Separately, I would like to sign all to the IPE / Political Economy types on the SSJJ list that Japan will be at the center of debates on global economic and environmental governance in 2019 by the virtue of its chairing the g20. I am currently connecting with the various ministerial point persons. But it would be great for some of us to prepare quality events at the frontier of Japanese politics and global political economy / global climate politics for 2019.

Cheers

Yves
