Electoral Reform and National Security in Japan

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the domestic politics of national security in Japan. It uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches to show that Japanese politicians pay more attention to security issues nowadays as a result of the 1994 electoral reform, not because of China or North Korea.
