This book introduces a multilayered approach to the study of
democracy, combining specific knowledge of Japan with theoretical
insights from the literature on democratization. It examines
different aspects of Japanese democracy-historical, institutional,
and sociocultural-to provide a conscious understanding of the
nature and practice of democracy, both in Japan and beyond. The
book's chapters give testimony to the dynamic nature and continuity
of Japanese democracy and analyze its strengths and weaknesses. The
central argument of this book is that Japan's democratization
should be seen as a multilayered experience shaped by the gradual
process of absorbing democratic ideas, forming democratic
institutions, and practicing democratic behaviors and rituals at
various levels of society. As the case of Japan shows, democracy is
neither a structured formula nor only a set of democratic laws and
institutions, but a continuous, gradual process.
