Description

<p>Recent studies have shown new views concerning the government led by the Liberal Democratic Party in its early days. Especially, my previous papers demonstrated that the “Jizen-shinsasei”, the procedure in which cabinets had to get prior approval from the LDP to send bills to the Diet, was introduced just after the foundation of the LDP. </p><p>  Given this theory, it would be expected that the Policy Affair Research Council of the party (PARC) of those days, which was given authority to decide policies of the party, coordinated policies not only within the party but also between the party and the government. Thus, this paper examines how the PARC actually functioned, focusing on a specific case: the law revision process in 1956 about Government-managed Health Insurance. </p><p>  In conclusion, this case study will show that the PARC functioned well to coordinate general policies, though there were certain limitations in coping with highly contested policies.</p>
