The conversion to a mixed system of the first-past-the-post system and proportional representation for the Japanese House of Representatives in 1994 has not realised the widely spread desire for recurrent changes of government, as the Liberal Democratic Party have maintained their grip. Dr Nagatomi monitors Japanese politics with the theories and methodologies of electoral geography. From a comparative perspective, the operation of the electoral system can mostly be explained by the geographical distributions of party supports, the arrangements of electoral constituencies and the candidacies of parties. Packed with a volume of the analyses unpublished elsewhere, this book will offer food for thought to political scientists, Asian watchers and broadly comparative researchers. Kazuaki Nagatomi has taught at Kyoto University, Ryukoku University and Keio University in Japan. Prior to this, he completed his study with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Politics at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, after graduating from the School of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University in Japan. He has published many books and articles, including a single-authored book entitled Independent Success in Mayoral Elections in England: A Study of Factors Contributing to the Candidates Success. 001441094 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 1, 2021). 001441094 650_0 $$aElectoral geography$$zJapan. 001441094 650_0 $$aProportional representation$$zJapan. 001441094 650_0 $$aElections$$zJapan. 001441094 650_0 $$aPolitical parties$$zJapan. 001441094 650_6 $$aGéographie électorale$$zJapon. 001441094 650_6 $$aReprésentation proportionnelle$$zJapon. 001441094 650_6 $$aÉlections$$zJapon. 001441094 651_0 $$aJapan$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 001441094 651_6 $$aJapon$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1989- 001441094 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441094 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811639841$$z9789811639845$$w(OCoLC)1255173555 001441094 852__ $$bebk 001441094 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-3985-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441094 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441094$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441094 980__ $$aBIB 001441094 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441094 982__ $$aEbook 001441094 983__ $$aOnline 001441094 994__ $$a92$$bISE
