Abstract

For Japan in 2021, COVID-19-related disruption was again the dominant storyline. Its impact transcended societal consequences to affect Japan’s economy, politics, and foreign affairs. It frustrated Japan’s economic recovery and, for the second time in as many years, contributed to a prime minister’s premature resignation. Yet the year also witnessed major positive developments, including the “2020” Tokyo Olympics/Paralympics; an (eventually) successful vaccine rollout; public health outcomes vastly better than those of any other G7 member; an expected return to economic growth; and a smooth national election. On October 31, new prime minister Kishida Fumio led the ruling LDP–Komeito coalition into Japan’s first general election since 2017. Despite losing a few seats, it retained a comfortable lower-house majority, ensuring that a subplot for Japan in 2021 was—again—relative continuity in national politics and foreign affairs.

2021年的日本

对于2021年的日本来说，与covid -19相关的中断再次成为主导故事情节。它的影响超越了社会后果，影响到日本的经济、政治和外交事务。它挫败了日本的经济复苏，并在两年内第二次导致首相过早辞职。然而，这一年也出现了重大积极进展，包括“2020年”东京奥运会/残奥会;(最终)成功推出疫苗;公共卫生成果远远好于其他七国集团成员国;预期经济恢复增长;顺利举行全国大选。10月31日，新任首相岸田文雄率领执政的自民党-公明党联盟参加了日本自2017年以来的首次大选。尽管失去了几个席位，但民主党在下议院仍稳居多数，确保了2021年日本大选的一个次要情节——在国家政治和外交事务上的相对连续性。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
