OVERVIEW OF
JAPAN
The Meiji Restoration of 1868
marked the beginning of a new
era in Japanese political history.

The post-war period (1945-2000)

saw the emergence of a more
democratic form of government,
with the Diet gaining more power
and the cabinet becoming more
accountable to the people. This
period also saw the emergence
of a strong civil society and the
growth of a vibrant economy.
 JAPAN’S
POLITICAL SYSTEM

Japan's political system is

based on the Constitution
of Japan, which was
established in 1947.
The government is divided
into three branches: the
executive, legislative,
and judicial.

Political parties in Japan are organized around the Diet, and the majority
party or coalition usually forms the government.

SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION
The main purpose of this study is to identify and
understand the political context and relationship of
Japan, and Laos and how it affects the issues that
nations are facing.

The researchers have limited their study to not

involving any other countries and focused only on
the politics in which these three countries are
involved.
THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK OF JAPAN
Outlining the fundamental ideas, variables, and linkages that aid in our comprehension of
Japan's political environment is a necessary step in developing a theoretical framework
for Japanese politics.

Japan is governed by a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. While

elected officials wield actual political authority, the emperor serves as a symbol.

Party dynamics and coalition governments are influenced by Japan's mixed-member

proportional representation system. Through lobbying and political contributions, interest
groups have a big impact on how policies are shaped. Politics discussions and elections
are shaped by the rivalry between the LDP and opposition parties.
THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK OF LAOS
Recognize Laos' historical legacies, such as its colonial history under France and its
participation in the Indochina Wars. Consider the impact of the surrounding nations,
especially China and Vietnam, on the political evolution of Laos.

The Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) is the dominant party in the country's one-
party communist system. List the formal political institutions that govern it. Examine the
National Assembly's role and how it operates within the political system.

Analyze the impact of Laos's ethnic variety on political representation and policy. Think
about how Buddhism has impacted the nation's culture and how it relates to politics.

Examine how the media, NGOs, and civil society organizations influence political debate
and change advocacy. Analyze the degree of political disagreement and freedom of
expression.
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK OF LAOS
Organizing crucial ideas and elements that affect Laos' political climate is necessary to
develop a conceptual framework for the nation's politics. Southeast Asian landlocked
country of Laos has a one-party socialist government run by the Lao People's
Revolutionary Party (LPRP). Here is a theoretical foundation for comprehending Laotian
politics:

1. Governmental system 7. Global Relations

2. Leadership 8. Economical aspects
3. Ideologies in politics 9. Racial diversity
4. Process of Making Decisions
5. Institutions of politics
6. Public life and the media
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK OF JAPAN
Outlining the crucial elements, ideas, and connections that influence Japan's political
environment is a necessary step in developing a conceptual framework for the nation's
politics. Japan has a distinct political system that has been shaped by its history, culture,
and current issues. A conceptual framework for comprehending Japanese politics is
provided here:

1. Historical Setting 7. Worldwide context

2. Institutions of politics 8. Democratization and Public Opinion
3. Election Process
4. Cultural aspects
5. Global Relations
6. Issues and advancements
 JAPAN & LAOS

Japan and Laos established diplomatic relations in

1955. Both sides highly valued the growing
partnership. ASEAN and Japan have similar political
systems and government structures. ASEAN has a
more developed legal system compared to Laos
