Electoral Reform and National Security in Japan - From Pork to Foreign Policy (Hardcover)

Japan is the third-largest economy in the world and a key ally of
the United States. Yet the determinants of Japanese security policy
are not well understood. The question of why Japan never sought the
independent military capabilities that would be commensurate with
its economic power has puzzled scholars of international relations
for decades. Applying new tools for the quantitative analysis of
text to a new collection of 7,497 Japanese-language election
manifestos used in elections between 1986 and 2009, this book
argues that the electoral strategies politicians in the ruling
party were forced to adopt under Japan's old electoral system made
it extraordinarily difficult for them to focus on security issues
and to change security policy. It was only when their electoral
strategies shifted after electoral reform in 1994 that these same
politicians became able to pay attention and change security
policy.
