Power and Pork: A Japanese Political Life

Power and Pork: A Japanese Political Life Review

Power and Pork: a Japanese political life aims to tell the ‘inside story’ of a Japanese politician—Matsuoka Toshikatsu—one of the more controversial members of Japan’s national Diet. Matsuoka belongs to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) as a representative of the Lower House constituency of Kumamoto No. 3, one of Japan’s regional electorates. His behaviour has been the subject of much speculation and commentary in the media. The book details Matsuoka’s political stratagems and policy activities as an archetypal ‘traditional’ politician representing farm and rural interests. As an old-style, old-guard LDP Diet member, Matsuoka is the kind of politician that former Prime Minister Koizumi targeted in his attempt to reform his own party and the policymaking process. Matsuoka’s reversal of fortune under Prime Minister Abe with his appointment to the post of Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries raises questions about the durability of Koizumi’s reforms. The scope of the work is contemporary Japanese domestic politics, including electoral processes, zoku influence, pork barrelling and ‘money politics’ as exemplified by one of its key players. Power and Pork gives an account of how Matsuoka has catered to local, sectional and clientele interests in order to build and retain his political power base. One of the most important conclusions of the book is that individual ruling party backbenchers can exercise extraordinary influence over government policy in Japan.

What to Look For When Buying Pork?

When buying pork, look for cuts with a relatively small amount of fat over the outside and with meat that is firm and a grayish pink color. For best flavor and tenderness, meat should have a small amount of marbling.

Beef

Fresh beef can differ from bright red to cherry-red depending on the amount of exposure to oxygen. A dark plum-red appearance can be an sign that the meat comes from an older animal. The meat should be firm but not dry and should have a smooth and fine texture. The outer layer of fat should be firm and evenly distributed. An oily appearance can be an indication that the meat comes from an older animal.

The meat of a young animal is grayish pink. Generally, the older the animal the darker the meat. The meat and fat should feel firm to the touch and not leave an impression when pressed with a finger. The fat is mostly white to creamy white. An oily appearance is indicative of an older animal.

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Sweet-Pickled, Dry Salt, and Dry-Cured Pork Made from Purchased Carcasses

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Sweet-Pickled, Dry Salt, and Dry-Cured Pork Made from Purchased Carcasses Review

This econometric study covers the world outlook for sweet-pickled, dry salt, and dry-cured pork made from purchased carcasses across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for sweet-pickled, dry salt, and dry-cured pork made from purchased carcasses. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
