Description

Explore how Japanese citizens engage with politics through this detailed case study focused on Oita prefecture. Despite persistent negative attitudes toward government since the late 1960s, many Japanese participate in specific political activities including candidate endorsements and local initiatives. This Routledge academic work examines the paradox of political disengagement in Japan, comparing attitudes with neighbouring countries whilst investigating the actual mechanisms of citizen participation at the local level. The book provides scholarly insight into Japanese political culture, public perception of government institutions, and the forms of grassroots involvement that challenge common assumptions about Japanese political apathy. Essential reading for students of Asian politics, sociology, and public administration seeking to understand the complexities of civic engagement in modern Japan.

Key Features

Routledge Studies on the Asia-Pacific Region series book offering academic analysis of Japanese political culture and citizen participation patterns.

Case study methodology focused on Oita prefecture provides localised insights into how Japanese citizens engage with political processes and institutions.

Examines the contradiction between negative political attitudes persisting since the late 1960s and actual participation in specific political activities.

Compares Japanese political attitudes with neighbouring countries to contextualise public perception of government and civic engagement.

Addresses political sociology and anthropology topics relevant to understanding Asian democratic participation and institutional relationships.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in social sciences and regional studies research.
