Shinzo Abe’s political legacy
Abstrak
The article attempts to trace the political biography of Shinzo Abe and show the most significant features of his legacy. The author analyzes Abe’s views as a conservative politician, among which he emphasizes the rejection of the pacifist post-war direction and the romanticization of Japan’s pre-war past, as well as the conviction of the need to revise the constitution. The article examines in detail the methods and political practices used by Abe to retain the LDP power during his premiership in 2012–2020, including the skillful use of populist technologies, and above all media opportunities, to strengthen his personal charisma, as well as real achievements in the field of foreign policy and diplomacy. The author concludes that under Abe’s rule, the process of Japan’s final departure from the “Yoshida doctrine” and its transformation into a country with full-fledged armed forces, not burdened with pacifist restrictions, was actually completed.
