Summary: One of the most striking aspects of Japan's prewar constitutional development is the establishment of two-party politics during the early years of this century. Peter Duus presents a comprehensive analysis of this important but little-explored phase of Japanese political history. In contrast with previous accounts, Duus examines the tactical and policy objectives of the party politicians within the context of their own limited aims rather than in terms of their failure to fulfill democratic ideals. The end result of these politicians' efforts, he points out, is that party government, sustained by a period of relative peace and prosperity, became a political reality in Japan for the first time.
