This landmark work surveys the major factors that influence voting
behavior in Japan. It is the first comprehensive study of the
Japanese voter to be written for English-speaking audiences. It is
commonly believed that Japanese voting behavior cannot be compared
to voting behavior in the West because it is not determined by the
same kinds of group loyalties, interests, and attitudes but rather
by unique patterns of personalistic networks and group
mobilization. However this book demonstrates through a wide range
of examples that there are recognizable bases of comparison between
Japanese and Western voting behavior. It also produces a number of
fascinating contrasts with voting in the West, because Japan is
different, even if it is not unique. Thus we learn about the
relative absence of economic voting, the weak role of the media,
the continuing importance of cultural values, the enormous
stability in voting patterns, and the effects of the unusual
Japanese electoral system. Drawing on data from the 1950s onward,
the book includes coverage of the most recent national elections in
Japan.
