  • Politics of COVID-19 vaccination in Japan: how governing incumbents’ representation affected regional rollout variation

    BMC Public Health   23 ( 1 ) 1 - 10  2023.03  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    Background

    Despite initial delay, Japan’s COVID-19 vaccination accelerated remarkably from May to September 2021 under the leadership of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. His “campaign” for vaccination, however, did not yield uniform results nationwide.

    Methods

    To highlight political determinants for the regional variation, we employ ordinary least squares regression analyses to investigate how the share/presence of incumbent politicians belonging to the governing parties, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komei Party, influenced the varying progress of rollouts across prefectures as well as across cities/towns/villages. The data on the vaccination rate for all 47 prefectures was obtained from Government Chief Information Officer (CIO)’s Portal, Japan (GCPJ) approximately one month prior to the anticipated general election, the national election for the more important House of Representatives of Japan’s bicameral parliament (Diet). The data for lower administrative units, though its availability was limited to only three prefectures, was obtained from the respective governments of Kagawa and Ehime and from a local newspaper in Gifu.

    Results

    The findings reveal that at both prefectural and sub-prefectural administrative levels, the share/presence of the governing parties’ representation in the national parliament had a positive and statistically significant effect on the region’s vaccination progress, after controlling for the local proliferation of COVID-19 and demographic characteristics.

    Conclusion

    Our findings contribute insights into the understudied area of the contemporary COVID-19 health environment, namely how the political dynamics of democracy affect the pattern of vaccine dissemination in Japan.

  • A survey inquiry into behavioral foundations of hate speech regulations: evidence from Japan

    Kentaro Hirose, Hae Kim, Masaru Kohno

    Japanese Journal of Political Science   24 ( 1 ) 101 - 117  2023.03  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    This paper highlights the concept of dignity as the cornerstone that justifies hate speech regulations in democratic societies. In political theory and constitutional law, the primacy of dignity as the moral and legislative justification for regulating hate speech has already been addressed by dignitarianism, especially in the course of debate with free speech advocates. We aim to augment this important claim in the normative literature with empirical data. Specifically, based on our survey conducted in Japan, where its first national anti-hate speech law had only recently been enacted and ordinary citizens were thus less predisposed of the debate, we show that citizens' concerns about the dignity of a targeted victim lead them to support regulations. Our analysis further clarifies the possible mechanisms of the dignitarian rationale, revealing not only the people's public-centered expectation regarding the societal consequences of hate speech, which dignitarians emphasized, but also the importance of more individual-based judgments regarding morality and justice, in shaping their regulatory attitudes.

    Authorship：Lead author

    　View Summary

    Previous research suggests that ideology, material interests, and moral values drive citizens’ preferences over foreign aid policy. Little attention has been paid to how perceptions of the international environment affect these preferences. We examine the extent to which citizens in a traditional donor country consider donor competition when deciding whether to impose aid sanctions on governments engaged in human rights violations. Employing an information experiment conducted among Japanese adults, we find that the prospect of another donor ready to act as a substitute aid-provider reduces support for the use of aid sanctions. This effect runs most strongly through a pathway privileging security concerns, and the effect is larger among respondents who have preexisting concerns about the other donor. These results highlight the way in which public desires for foreign aid to bring about material returns can hinder a government’s ability to use aid to promote good governance ends.

  • How did the Japanese Public React to Kim Jong Il's Death?

    Kichiro Arai, Masaru Kohno, Shin Toyoda

    INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC   13 ( 1 ) 125 - 153  2013.01  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    We present a comprehensive evidence on how the Japanese reacted to the sudden death of North Korea's Kim Jong Il in December 2011, which was an event of enormous significance for Japan's national security. Based on our original, partially panel-structured, multi-wave monthly surveys conducted from December 2011 to March 2012, we analyze how the Japanese learned about his death, how they formed evaluations about its implication, and how their perceptions changed over time. Our findings illustrate that Japan's general public reacted in a remarkably calm and balanced way to the evolving situation, pointing to a basic sense of realism that underlies their attitudinal orientation toward North Korea. This sense, we argue, derives from the confidence widely held in Japan that, while North Korea remains one of the crucial sources of external threats, its overall ability to influence the regional and international dynamics is limited and its threat thus containable within current framework of national security.

    　View Summary

    Since the early 1990s, Steven Reed and Gary Cox have changed our understanding of Japan's multimember SNTV electoral system by high-lighting its institutional effects similar to what is known as Duverger's law in the Anglo-American context. Both Reed and Cox presented evidence to show that Japan's M-member districts tended to produce competition among M+1 candidates, thus claiming that a generalization of Duverger's law, called "M+1 rule" exists and applies to the Japanese case. This paper reevaluates Reed's and Cox's claims. We offer some additional evidence to demonstrate that the findings of these two studies are reconcilable, both pointing to the basic pattern of Japanese voters' strategic behavior under the above electoral system. We, however, also address an issue left unexplored in these previous studies, namely the role of political parties. Under Japan's multiparty system, party labels matter in elections: while Japanese voters are generally willing to abandon the candidates without affiliation with the established parties, the partisan effects produce constraints for voters' strategic coordination for both informational and ideological reasons.

    　View Summary

    Why did the Japan Socialist Party (JSP) cling to its original leftist policies for so long? Traditionally, the JSP's failure to become a credible alternative to the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been explained in terms of either the legacy of its disastrous coalition experience in the early postwar years, the party's organizational reliance on unionized labor, or its nervousness about the reactionary element in the LDP. None of these existing explanations is convincing, given that the adherence to its leftist policies had self-defeating electoral consequences for the JSP. This article explores an alternative explanation and provides empirical evidence which illustrates the link between the JSP's misfortune and the Japanese electoral system existing from 1947 to 1994.

    　View Summary

    Over the last two decades there have been numerous changes in the organization of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Japan. The pattern of factionalization has changed significantly in terms of the number of competing major factions, the average size of their membership, and their internal structure. Moreover, a new set of institutionalized norms, such as the seniority and interfactional balancing principles, has emerged to govern organizational processes within the LDP. The conventional approach in the literature on Japanese politics, which focuses on factors unique or distinctive to Japanese history, culture, and social behavior, cannot adequately explain these recent changes in the LDP. This paper proposes an alternative, rational-choice explanation based on the standard microanalytic assumptions. More specifically, it argues that the pattern of the LDP's factionalization is primarily determined by the electoral incentives of two sets of rational actors, LDP politicians and LDP supporters, operating under institutional constraints, such as electoral laws and political funding regulations. It also argues that the organizational norms originate in the promotion incentives of the LDP politicians whose strategies are influenced by the uncertainty in the dynamics of the interfactional political process.

  • 税制改革とアカウンタビリティ：サーベイ実験を用いた実証研究

    2019   鈴木淳平

    　View Summary

    本研究では、2019年10月消費税の税率が8％から10％に引き上げられたタイミングに合わせて、サーベイ実験を実施し、増税が一般有権者の政治的態度に与えた影響を検証した。結果として、情報的プライミングを施さなかった統制群に比べて、増税について意識を喚起された人々の間では、政府の税の使い道への関心度合いが顕著に高まるが、その一方で、増税に加えて軽減税率についても意識を喚起されると、人々の関心が統制群とほとんど同じレベルにとどまることがわかり、増税と引き換えに本来高まるべき市民のアカウンタビリティ圧力、つまり政府に対し説明や透明性を求める圧力が、税負担の軽減措置によって弱められる可能性を明らかにした。

    代表者（河野）は、2016年度の科研費の挑戦的萌芽研究に「ポピュラー音楽をテクストとした自由の概念分析」というテーマで新規申請したが、不採択となったので、次年度の科研費申請に向けての助走資金として本助成を受けることとなった。17年度に再びさらに計画を洗練して同じテーマで申請することを目指し、研究体制を強化するとともに、量的テクスト分析に関して専門家からヒアリングを受け、本研究に適切なデータ分析の手法を検討した。さらに、新たに研究協力者として参加していただくことになった二人の米国研究者と討議を重ね、自由という概念が歌詞にたち現れる文脈がa)人間関係 b)政治や社会事象c)仕事 d)宗教や哲学的信念 e)世界におけるアメリカの例外性誇示、の５つに類別できるという仮説を得た。

  • 援助を受ける人々の態度と行動：サーベイ実験による「支援の呪い」の国際比較研究

    2016  

    　View Summary

    代表者（河野）は、2016年度の科研費の基盤研究（A）に「援助を受ける人々の態度と行動：サーベイ実験による「支援の呪い」の国際比較研究」というテーマで新規申請したが、不採択となったので、次年度の科研費申請に向けての助走資金として本助成を受けることとなった。17年度の応募に向けては、同じテーマに基づきながらも、１）理論構築の側面を強化し、２）国際的文脈のみならず日本の国内的文脈の中でも生じる可能性のあるパラレルな問題の実証も視野に含めた、より総合的な研究計画へと洗練・拡張して、研究体制も大幅に強化することとした。そこで、既存のデータの二次分析を進めこの新しい研究の方向性の妥当性を確認し、また新たに加わったメンバーと研究計画「支援・再分配政策がもたらす外部効果の政治経済分析」の提出へ向けて頻繁にブレーンストーミングを行った。

    日本における優越政党として長く政権についてきた自由民主党は、1955年に結党されてから1970年代前半まで、衆議院選挙における公認候補者数をへらし、その結果得票率をも低下させた。従来、この現象は、日本において近代化、都市化、農村から都市への人口移動が進展する過程で、保守勢力の地盤が切り崩された結果起こったものであると考えられてきた。しかし、本研究においては、自民党の議席率が決して50％を下回らなかったことを重視して、単記非移譲投票・中選挙区制という特殊な選挙制度のもとでは候補者数の絞込みが、自民党にとっては議席の過半数を確保する合理的な戦略であったことをあきらかにした。具体的には、compositional data analysisとシミュレーションを行って、他の条件が一定であれば自民党は候補者数を減らすほど議席率を増やすことができたことをしめした。さらに、本研究では、都市化や産業別就業人口などが自民党の候補者の数を決定する上で影響がなかったことも併せてあきらかにした。後者の実証にあたっては、国勢調査にもとづいた各種のデータを、衆議院の選挙区ごとに集計しなおして、新たなデータセットを作成した。これまでの選挙研究においては、このような経済社会変数を選挙区レベルに落としたデータセットがなく、さまざまな実証研究を進める上で大きな障害になっていた。そこで、2004年12月までには、このデータは一般に公開し、日本の選挙・投票行動研究者たちの共有財産として活用される体勢を整える。
