Building Policy Legitimacy in Japan: Political Behaviour Beyond Rational Choice
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: St. Martin's Press
- Publish date: 12/01/2006
Description:
Dissecting why politicians sometimes make unpopular policies that seem to sabotage their self-interest and electoral prospects, Sakamoto (political science, Nanzan U., Nagoya, Japan) hypothesizes policy legitimacy -- defined as a degree of support, acceptance, or tolerance accorded by relevant actors to a particular policy -- as a factor that can preempt self-interest. Tax and electoral reform in Japan from 1979-1994 serve as the author's test application of his thesis, and as the anchor of his discussion on the limits of electoral incentives theory and factors that facilitate or impede policy formation.
