SUMMARY:Hiroki Takeuchi (Southern Methodist University)\, Keely McNeme (Southern Methodist University)\, "Comparative One-Party Rule: Japan and Mexico Compared"
DESCRIPTION:U.S. ET: May 18 (Thursday)\, 8 – 9 PM \nJST: May 19 (Friday)\, 9 – 10 AM \nZoom Registration: Link \nPaper is available here. \nAuthors: Hiroki Takeuchi (Southern Methodist University) and Keely McNeme (Southern Methodist University) \nAbstract:\nA critical aspect of democracies is the peaceful transition of power between multiple parties through fair and free elections. Although a\nparty may remain in power for subsequent terms\, decades of staying in power typically indicate a rigged electoral system. Japan and\nMexico in the twentieth century offer two interesting cases. A single party dominated both for several decades—Japan by the Liberal\nDemocratic Party (LDP) from 1955 to 2009 while Mexico by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) from 1929 to 2000—but Japan was\nclassified as a democracy while Mexico was classified as authoritarianism. Both the LDP and the PRI were known for electoral\nclientelism and corruption. Given the surface-level similarities of one-party rule between these two countries\, what makes these different\nclassifications? Moreover\, after experiencing the loss of power in the twenty-first century\, the LDP is still the dominant party in Japanese\npolitics\, while the PRI is not in Mexican politics anymore now that both are classified as electoral democracies. What explains the\ndivergent trajectories taken by these two former one-party ruling parties? \nPresenters: Hiroki Takeuchi (Southern Methodist University) and Keely McNeme (Southern Methodist University) \nDiscussants: Masaaki Higashijima (University of Tokyo) and Len Schoppa (University of Virginia) \nChair: Charles Crabtree (Dartmouth College)
