Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Political theatrics of produced set-up of faking (“Yarase”) is based on incomplete information. It seems as if common knowledge exists between political interpreters and audiences about the produced fake. However, the audiences are easily deceived, because an audience’s information is limited and selective in the real life, with incomplete information. Incompleteness and asymmetry about information realize the produced fake as political theatrics, and this faking propels the cycle of political process in public policy, which political interests desire. In addition, information control including the fake enforces constant keeping of power in non-democratic states. Nevertheless, the qualification of successful theatrics for fake becomes more difficult than in the past, because of the global wave of democratization, the diffusion of the internet, and the extension of the information disclosure system based on the principle of transparency.
