“…However, this conservative-oriented party did so poorly in the elections of the same year that Koike resigned from the party leadership here as well, thereby ending her political involvement at the national level. Since then, the politician has only held the political office of governor of Tōkyō, in which she was confirmed for another term in the 2020 election (Hijino, 2020;Pekkanen & Reed, 2017).…”

The article analyzes the influence of Germany and France on the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022. The war changed the perception of the elites and societies of these countries about Russia and Ukraine. Germany and France proved to be unprepared for successful preventive diplomacy. It was difficult to make decisions about providing aid to Ukraine. The German and French elites consider the risk of territorial disintegration of Russia as an additional challenge to European security. "Brexit" and the Russian-Ukrainian war complicated the process of reforming the European Union. It was only possible to adopt decisions on sanctions. But the determining factor of the war is the stability of Ukraine and the European Union.

“…Other works have dealt with the cleavages in the DPJ from an electoral perspective (Hrebenar and Nakamura 2015;Pekkanen and Reed 2018a;2018b;Scheiner, Smith, and Thies 2018) but present the ongoing factional dynamics only incidentally. This work attempts to fill in a gap in literature after the 2017 Lower House general election, arguing that if there was not an exogenous factor -the founding of the Party of Hope, which I discuss in the 5 "The law is driven by the idea that in the long-run rational politicians and voters will realize that it is hopeless to have more than two parties competing at national level.…”

In this contribution, I use the breakup – just short of the 2017 General Election – of Japan’s former second biggest political party, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), as a case study so as to assess the practical implications of splits and realignments in the most relevant party split in Japan since the DPJ was ousted from government in 2012. First, I examine DPJ’s origin as an umbrella for ideologically diverse groups that opposed the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) – the government party in Japan throughout most of its post-war history, its tendency to factionalism, and the oftentimes damaging role the factional dynamics played in the party’s decision-making process throughout the years. In the case study, it is understood that the creation of the Party of Hope – a split from the LDP, and the salience of constitutional issues were exogenous factors particular to that election, which helped causing the DPJ split.
