ABSTRACT
(Catchy opening line) From Japan’s royal touch to India’s democratic beat, two countries, two styles, one goal: governing together smoothly. (History) From India’s colonial legacy to the independence and from feudal era to modernization the comparative analysis is to observe how two different forms of governments are running smoothly. (Present Status). India maintains a parliamentary system with a ceremonial president, while Japan operates under a constitutional monarchy with a ceremonial Emperor. (Short Explanation) India has a lively democracy with many political parties. Japan mixes traditional monarchy with modern democratic ways of governing. (Research Problem) To investigate the similarities and differences between the presidential system in India and the monarchical system in Japan, examining their respective structures, roles of the head of state, executive powers, historical contexts, and impacts on governance, with the aim of understanding how these systems function within their unique cultural, historical, and political contexts. (Hypothesis) While India’s parliamentary democracy and Japan’s constitutional monarchy differ in structure, both systems will exhibit similarities in executive power concentration and the symbolic role of the head of state, influenced by historical and cultural contexts. (Possible Reform) Researcher wants to propose recommendations for potential reforms or improvements to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness of governmental structures in both countries. (Aim and objective) Researcher wants to evaluate the impact of the presidential and monarchical systems on governance outcomes, political stability, and societal cohesion.
