      title = {Generational gap in Japanese politics : a longitudinal  study of political attitudes and behaviour /},
      abstract = {After decades of stable and seemingly semi-permanent  single-party dominance, Japanese politics have gone through  fundamental changes since the early 1990s. Government  ministries have been reorganised, prime ministerial powers  strengthened, and rules for electing the lower house of  parliament overhauled. Furthermore, frequent formation,  merger, splintering and disappearance of new parties have  continued for more than two decades. How do citizens make  sense of politics amidst such rapid shifts? The authors  address this question by focusing on attitudinal and  behavioural changes and continuities with respect to  political ideology. They explore what issues citizens  associate with ideological terms, where they perceive  various parties on a conservative-progressive dimension,  and to what extent ideology affects their vote choice.  Results of new surveys are also presented to shed light on  distinctions between different ideological labels and  profiles of radical right supporters. In addition, all  topics are discussed with an eye to identifying divergent  patterns between older and younger generations. .},
