On the 30th August 2009, Yukio Hatoyama led the Democratic Party to victory in the Japanese General Election, and brought to an end more than half a century of near unbroken political power of the Liberal Democratic Party.
What were the reasons behind this sensational victory? What are the characteristics of the new administration and how will this impact on international diplomacy and security policies?
Experienced journalist, Yoshibumi Wakamiya will answer these questions and more.
