After a historic landslide victory in the Aug. 30 election, a new Cabinet was launched Wednesday, led by Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan.
The incoming administration's first big test is whether it can follow through on its promise of administrative reform, wresting power from the bureaucrats and putting politicians in charge of policy and the budget.
Experts warn that the
new government will
need to show tangible
results to maintain
voters' support
until next summer's Upper House election, which will decide the long-term fate of the DPJ-led government.
"Bureaucrats will begin complying with orders once they feel that the new government will be around for a while. In that sense, I think policies should be implemented quickly while Cabinet approval ratings are still high," said Koichi Nakano, a political science professor at Sophia University in Tokyo.
