“Ramseyer and Rosenbluth present a view of Japanese politics that coherently links voters, politicians, bureaucrats, and judges into patterns of interaction governed by the logic of the ’political marketplace.’ They succeed in demonstrating that many of the analytical tools developed to study the politics of advanced Western democracies are not only applicable in the Japanese context, but also are capable of yielding novel interpretations of politics in Japan.”—Amy Searight, Pacific Affairs
“[A] Well researched and carefully thought out study of Japanese politics.”—Hugh Cortazzi, Asian Affairs
“Fodder for scholarly research for years to come.”—Steven R. Reed, American Journal of Sociology
