Ovaj rad donosi kratak povijesni pregled šogunata kako bi se objasnili uzroci njegova pada. Meiđijeva restauracija spada među najvažnije događaje u japanskoj povijesti u kojima je doživljena tranzicija s jednoga sustava vladavine na drugi. Tekst objašnjava kako su položajem nezadovoljni niži samuraji i marginalizirani tozama daimjoi, pod vodstvom provincija Sacume i Ćošua, izveli državni udar 1868. godine te poveli Bošinski rat protiv preostalih provincija vjernih šogunu. Neizostavno je bilo spomenuti i zapadne sile, koje su bile katalizatori za događaje koji su uslijedili, ali i za razvoj paranoične, nacionalističke ideologije. Spomenute su i posljedice izazvane Meiđijevom restauracijom te nastojanjima vlade da u što kraćemu roku modernizira zemlju, u čemu i uspijevaju. ; This paper brings a short historical review of the Shogunate with the aim of explaining the causes of its demise. Meiji restoration is one of the most important events in the Japanese history, where the transition from one ruling system to another can be observed. This paper explains how low ranking samurai, dissatisfied with their position, and marginalized tozama daimyos, under leadership of domains Satsuma and Choshu, had organized coup d'état in 1868 and had started Boshin war against remaining domains who were faithful to Shogun. It is important to mention Western powers, which assisted in accelerating the events that were to come and which were responsible for the development of a paranoid, nationalist ideology. The consequences of Meiji restoration and government's successful struggles to modernize Japan in short period of time are also mentioned in the paper.

In stable democracies, radical electoral changes necessitating the alteration of the type of electoral system are very rare. That is why the typological electoral reforms in New Zealand, Italy, & Japan in the 1990s generated huge scientific & public interest. In all three cases, the reforms were brought about by profound political crises, primarily by the electoral system crises. The reforms were carried out according to different patterns. The New Zealand electoral reform was an expression of a highly sophisticated intellectual design of political institutions legitimized by a referendum. The Italian reform was exacted through the initiatives & actions of the political & the civilian actors & was also confirmed by a referendum. The Japanese reform was a result of a contingently exacted party arrangement. In all three cases -- to the biggest extent in Italy, & to the smallest extent in Japan -- the reforms were implemented regardless of the will of the main political parties & most politicians. 3 Tables, 56 References.

Tema ovog rada je povijesni pregled prvog i sveobuhvatnog građanskog rata u povijesti Japana. Riječ je o Gempejskog ratu, koji se vodio od 1180. do 1185. godine. Cilj rada je objasniti kakva je bila politička situacija za vrijeme vladavine careva te zašto se pojavio ratnički sloj, koji se počeo ponašati kao potencijalna politička alternativa carskom sustavu ritsuryo. Također, cilj je predstaviti glavna dva sudionika u građanskom ratu, klanove Taira i Minamoto, a isto tako dati pregled tijeka građanskog rata. Građanski rat je iz temelja promijenio tadašnji Japan te je cilj objasniti kako je tekao proces nastanka novog političkog sustava koji će obilježiti povijest Japana tijekom gotovo 700 godina, a riječ je o šogunatu. ; The theme of this paper is a historical overview of the first and comprehensive civil war in the history of Japan. It is a war of the Gempei, which was fought from 1180 until 1185. The aim of this paper is to explain what the political situation was during the reign of emperors and why a warrior class emerged, which began to act as a potential political alternative to the imperial ritsuryo system. Furthermore, the aim is also to present the main two participants in the civil war, the Taira and Minamoto clans, as well as provide an overview of the course of the civil war. At that time, the Civil War fundamentally changed Japan, therefore, the aim is to explain how the process of the emergence of a new political system that would mark the history of Japan over almost 700 years has evolved, a shogunate.
