Yet recent headlines about exceptionally powerful former heads of government such as Donald Trump and the recently-deceased Abe Shinzō suggest a greater need to examine politicians who have left top official posts. Such scholarship remains scarce even relating to the Japanese context, where elder statesmen have been particularly influential in the political process throughout history. This paper highlights the significant and complex role of former leaders by examining the case of former prime minister Satō Eisaku in 1970s Japan. Known for being the Japanese prime minister with the longest continuous tenure until Abe Shinzō broke his record in 2020, Satō’s activities as a retired leader have been largely overlooked. This study challenges the conventional wisdom about Satō, demonstrating that even as an elder statesman he exerted a pivotal, stabilizing influence in a tumultuous era of Japanese political history. Indeed, his accomplishments despite the brevity of his prime ministerial “afterlife” underscore the importance of taking political actors seriously even after they have vacated their formal public roles.","PeriodicalId":37204,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Japan","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, discussions about shifting gender structures have frequently focused on women, leaving men’s gender issues in the shadows. This article explores the last 50 years of labor and family changes from a gendered perspective, and the major historical and civilizational shifts behind those changing patterns. Focusing specifically on a crisis of masculinity, which I label the “Men’s Crisis,” this article examines the structural transformations in industry, labor, and society that we are currently confronting. Since the 1990s, the “Men’s Crisis” has become increasingly visible in Japanese society. Because the “Men’s Crisis” is spreading as an unidentified, invisible problem today, most men feel an unexplained, or unexplainable, deprivation. In other words, what I call the “masculinization of deprivation” has emerged. In order to advance gender equality and increase women’s participation in society, we must also contend with the vital policies surrounding men as gendered people, which have been ignored in the past. In particular, significant policy proposals are necessary, specifically those that acknowledge men’s needs for counseling and advice, as well as the links between men and care.","PeriodicalId":37204,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Japan","volume":"89 1","pages":"175 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
