Toward a Majoritarian Democracy? : Prime Minister's Leadership and Changing Roles of Advisory Councils

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research revealed that the emergence of majoritarian policy making processes allowed neo-liberal policies to be implemented. In order to prove this thesis, I systematically collected the documents and minutes of majoritarian advisory councils and conducted process-tracing analyses on the points which majoritarian advisory councils took issues with consensus-oriented advisory councils. My case studies included labor market reform, gender equality policy as well as social security reform.
