What role does the political survival of prime ministers play in Japan's relations with China over the Yasukuni issue? Past and present Japanese prime ministers reacted differently to China's pressure on this issue. To explain this variation, this book presents an alternative interpretation of Japan's official responses toward China's pressure over the Yasukuni issue between 1985 and 2015 by applying a political survival approach that highlights the domestic political legitimacy of the Japanese prime minister or the ruling party.
