El Partido Liberal Democratico (PLD) controlo el parlamento japones {Diet) desde 1955, gobernando sin necesidad de entrar en coalicion con ninguno de los partidos de la oposicion. Sin embargo, el 18 de junio de 1993, el PLD se convirtio en un caso mas de partido dominante que caia aparentemente por la enorme corrupcion imperante, tal y como le habia sucedido al partido democratacristiano en Italia en los anos ochenta, cuando perdio el liderazgo en las coaliciones gobernantes en el parlamento.

The PRI has successfully avoided the fates of many other hegemonic parties by not spiitting into severa! smaller parties. This was largely achieved through the work of the party's new president who obliged other group leaders to accept his leadership. The second important aspect of the party has been the decentralization of important áreas of authority, such as candidate selection, to lower levéis of the organization, most importantiy, the state governors. This drive to devolve power and authority within the party ¡s largely a result of losing the party's former Leviathan the President of México who has always forced all party politicians to cooperate. A consequence of this decentralization is that PRI politicians are creating state basad political careers within the party in far larger numbers than under authoritarian conditions.
