As the three countries tally the votes, a shift in global power relations and alliances is palpable. Legislative power balances are uncertain, and the center of political gravity may be moving into new directions. Japan may well change course as well, with the more moderate PM Kishida at the helm of the LDP. We will discuss the outcome of the 10/31 election in Japan, in the context of these other shifts. What will it mean for Japan, and for geopolitics?
