Bicameral - bicameral refers to a legislative body (Congress, Assembly, etc) that has two chambers. For example, the U. S. Congress is bicameral: it is composed of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives.

Demilitarization - refers to the shrinkage of a state's armed forces, be it in size of personnel, amount of equipment, or both.

Zaibatsu - the word Zaibatsu means "financial clique" in Japanese. It refers to the Japanese conglomerates that dominate that country's economy, for example: Mitsubishi and Honda.

Democratization - Consists in the process of transitioning from an authoritarian political regime, to a more democratic one. A good example of democratization happened in West Germany after World War II, when the Nazi Regime that dominated gave way to a democratic republic that is still in place.
