Shinzo Abe

New testimonies are emerging about the historic meeting.

Throughout his political career, former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was at the center of Japanese conservative politics. With him gone, how will the conservative movement go forward?

The former prime minister’s all-or-nothing approach may have stymied progress on the unresolved North Korean abductions of Japanese nationals.

Japan’s longest-serving post-war prime minister left a long list of achievements with geopolitical significance.

Kishida’s response to the war in Ukraine has been surprisingly robust.

Over a year since his resignation, Abe's “power is substantial,” as is his legacy.

Breaking with neoliberalism will require a resolve to confront capital and political opponents. Does Kishida have what it takes?

Even from retirement, former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo continues to cast a long shadow over Japan’s foreign policy.

Abe Shinzo’s pointed comments on Taiwan drew an angry reaction from Beijing.

The Liberal Democrats and their coalition partner have a majority in parliament. Whoever wins the September 29 party vote is likely to become the new prime minister. 

Prosecutors investigated whether Abe, his aide and two executives from his political support group had subsidized the party fees in violation of campaign and election funds laws.
