Abstract
[Italy and Japan have often been compared on the basis of the fact that they both had a highly factionalized dominant party that maintained control of national government for long periods of time. While the Italian Christian Democratic Party (DC) was typically the dominant party in multiparty coalitions, in Japan the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was able to form single-party majority governments (Scheiner 2006).]
