The transition to a mixed system of the first-past-the-post system and proportional representation for the Japanese House of Representatives in 1994 has failed to fulfill the widespread aspiration for frequent changes in government, as the Liberal Democratic Party has firmly maintained its hold. Dr. Nagatomi employs the theories and methodologies of electoral geography to closely monitor Japanese politics. From a comparative standpoint, the functioning of the electoral system can primarily be attributed to the geographical distribution of party support, the configuration of electoral constituencies, and the candidacies of political parties. Packed with a wealth of analyses that have not been published elsewhere, this book provides valuable insights for political scientists, Asian observers, and scholars engaged in comparative research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 541g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811639845\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kazuaki Nagatomi","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103369982202,"sku":"9789811639845","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646232511130_book.jpg?v=1646929899","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-operation-of-the-japanese-electoral-system-since-1994-9789811639845","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
