从福田辞职到麻生上台

From Fukuda’s Resigntion to Aso’s Rise to Power

福田的突然辞职再次引起日本政坛的动荡。麻生太郎接任首相，其内阁班子组成除政治世袭和寻求派系平衡外，更体现与麻生个人关系的亲疏，日本政局如何发展还要拭目以待。近些年日本政坛之所不断动荡，除国内经济、社会问题难以解决导致首相支持率下降外，政治制度的缺失导致政治运营的变幻不定也是极其重要的原因。结构性社会难题将使日本政坛继续处于多事之秋。

Fukuda’s sudden resignation has once again thrown Japan’s political circles into a state of chaos. Replacement by Taro Aso as Prime Minister of Japan will not break away from the tradition of political patrimony in the cabinet and factional balance. People can only wait and see how long will his political life last. In recent years, the reason why the political circles in Japan have been so turbulent is that, except for the decline in popularity ratings of the Prime Ministers as a result of the intractable internal economic and social problems, deficiency in political systems is an important element that has caused constant changes in political operations. Structural social problems will continue to make the Japanese political climate to be tainted with troubles.
