This essay aims to explore the vision for state regeneration advanced by a Greek political party known as the Team of the Japanese by analyzing the party's arguments against Theotokis' government in the Greek parliament in the wake of the Currant Scandal of 1907. This political party was established by seven depu-ties in 1906 in a period when the Greek parliament suffered from stagnation in terms of both domestic and international politics. The Currant Scandal was disclosed by Dimitrios Gounaris, a member of the Team of the Japanese, in December 1907 in the parliament. He found out that the agreement between the government and the Privileged Company to Foster the Production and Trade of Currants included terms that would illegally benefit the company at the expense of currant growers. The attacks of the Team of the Japanese against the government pushed the government to the verge of collapse. The criticism of the Team of the Japanese against the government reveals that the Team of the Japanese intended to realize political reform by rebuilding parliamentarianism, which had been considered moribund in Greece. The party attempted to achieve parliamentarianism in order to revive the state. We can summarize the parliamentarian ideals of the Team of the Japanese with three dimensions. First, the Team claimed that every issue related to the national interest should be confirmed by the parliament. Second, it argued that the cabinet should take ethical responsibility for the parliament. Third, it emphasized that a prime minister should cultivate "sensitivity" to the parliamentary system and engage in state affairs with a mind toward the collective responsibility of the cabinet. Indeed, the Team of the Japanese distinguished itself as a reform-oriented and viable political force in the first decade of the twentieth century, a period that. previous scholars have characterized simply as chaotic and apathetic. Further research will offer a more complete picture of this party and fill in a missing piece of the process of reform and modernization from the Trikoupis' period to the Venizelos' era.
