Morning, again, for the final Japan Considered Podcast of 2006. Thanks
for dropping by. And special thanks to you long-time listeners. It
doesn't work without you. So I appreciate your attention. And look
forward to continuing these weekly programs of commentary and analysis
concerning Japan's domestic politics and conduct of international
relations in 2007.
This week we return to the problems the Abe
Kantei seems to be having communicating with Japan's attentive public.
Resolution of the Professor Homma fiasco we mentioned last week,
eruption of a new political funding scandal, this time within the
Cabinet itself, and its more rapid resolution. And then consideration
of the significance of Yoshimi Watanabe's appointment to succeed
Genichiro Sata as Minister of State responsible for administrative
reform and regional revitalization.
Happy New Year to all. |
