Not just unequal, but unfair? Perceived economic inequality, regional disparities, and party support in Japan
Japan has long been portrayed as a relatively egalitarian society. Yet, growing economic disparities have raised questions about how inequality is perceived and politicized. This study examines whether regional economic inequality shapes individuals’ perceptions of rich–poor conflict and how such perceptions translate into political preferences. Using individual-level data from the SmartNews, Media, Politics, and Public Opinion Survey (SMPP Surve…
Contemporary Japanese Politics and Anxiety Over Governance

Does political participation make a difference? The relationship between political choice, civic engagement and political efficacy
Two Decades of Change in Cultural Values and Economic Development in Eight East Asian and Pacific Island Nations
In a 1982 publication, Ng et al. surveyed the cultural values of select East Asian and Pacific Island nations. In 2002, this study repeated their work, using the same sampling frame, questionnaire, and collaborators, where possible. The authors also reclassified the 1982 and 2002 survey results using Schwartz's cultural-level value dimensions. Submission versus Dionysian values that differentiated the nations in 1982 continued to do so in 2002. F…

Panel data over the course of a year examined the longitudinal dynamics between social networks, social identifications, and voting behavior among a national sample of registered voters in Japan and a regional sample in Wellington, New Zealand. Respondents with more s…
Patterns of Disagreement in Democratic Politics: Comparing Germany, Japan, and the United States
An important ingredient in democratic politics is the experience of disagreement through social communication and political discussion. If people fail to encounter contrary viewpoints, their own views are never challenged, they are never forced to reconsider initially held opinions, and they are effectively excluded from democratic deliberation. This article examines patterns of political agreement and disagreement within the communication networ…
Political Communication and Disagreement Among Citizens in Japan and the United States
Political Expertise, Interdependent Citizens, and the Value Added Problem in Democratic Politics
In this paper we are primarily concerned with political expertise, interest, and agreement as factors that might accelerate the flow of information between citizens. We examine dyadic exchanges of information as a function of two primary sets of factors: the characteristics of the citizens in the dyadic relationship and the characteristics of the larger network within which the dyad is located. Moreover, we compare political communication within …
