Shinzo Abe’s influence still felt at home and abroad a year after his assassination
Saturday marks a year since Shinzo Abe, the late Japanese prime minister, was killed by an assassin’s bullet, an attack that shocked the nation. But the anniversary is also sparking reflections and a realization that Abe’s legacy is likely to endure in a country that doesn’t typically offer its political leaders a high profile or lasting fame.
“Certainly I think you could say that Abe saw the direction China was heading before a lot of others did,” Mr. Harding said in an interview. “Maybe he was smarter. Maybe he was lucky.” While such short terms were par for the course in Japanese politics, analysts said Abe’s eight-year reign gave the nation the kind of stability it needed to reimagine its role in the Pacific and beyond.
Specialists say that not only did Abe change that equation and reinvigorate the U.S.-Japan alliance, he also helped write the blueprint for a multilateral strategy to confront China.
