DESCRIPTION:Following Prime Minister Shinzo Abe&rsquo\;s abrupt decision to
  resign\, Japan&rsquo\;s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will be cho
 osing its next leader on September 14th\, determining who will become the 
 new prime minister of Japan. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has em
 erged as the front-runner in the LDP leadership race. Since the new LDP pr
 esident will serve out the remainder of Prime Minister Abe's term\, there 
 will be another party election next September. What does Prime Minister Su
 ga need to do to position himself to win a regular three year term as part
 y leader 12 months from now? When is he likely to call for a lower house e
 lection? What specific policies are likely to be at the top of his agenda?
  How will Japan's politics evolve in the post-Abe era? In this webinar\, t
 wo leading experts offer their insights into the current landscape of Japa
 nese politics\, the prospects for domestic and foreign policy under the ne
 w administration\, and implications for U.S.-Japan relations.\n<strong>\nS
