This project aimed to analyze the impact from transformation of civil society in Japan from various perspectives. Yamada has explored the long-term change in Japanese political participation through analyzing national survey data. from 1976 to 2005. The findings are 1) no increase at elite-challenging participation ; 2) correlation among various ways, of participation shows changes from time to time, 3) decreasing the participation gap on gender and income level.
Takenaka has investigated current situation in Japanese ideology. His main findings are below. The one is that he does not observe the increase of constituents who do not understand ideology, and neither conservatization or neutralization, even after the breakdown of the LDP's predominant party system. The second is that Japanese ideology displays declining tendency at binding issues, but national security. The third point is that ideology still has a strong power to differentiate the LDP with leftist parties, such as SDP and JCP
Mori analyzes the impact of the change at electoral institution to voting pattern in Japan. He has found effective rearrangement at electoral bases under the past SNTV system, and the LDP tends to decrease the number of votes in rural districts.
