Product Information
Despite its democratic structure, Japan's government has been dominated by a single party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) since 1955. This book offers an explanation for why, even in the face of great dissatisfaction with the LDP, no opposition party has been able to offer itself as a credible challenger in Japan. Understanding such failure is important for many reasons, from its effect on Japanese economic policy to its implications for what facilitates democratic responsiveness more broadly. The principal explanations for opposition failure in Japan focus on the country's culture and electoral system. This book offers a new interpretation, arguing that a far more plausible explanation rests on the predominance in Japan of clientelism, combined with a centralized government structure and electoral protection for groups that benefit from clientelism. While the central case in the book is Japan, the analysis is also comparative and applies the framework cross-nationally.

Reviews
Scheiner makes effective use of statistics and qualitative interviews to document his points and a brief book review cannot do justice to the richness of his comparisons”Greg Kasza, Indiana University, "Scheiner's book provides an important and broad ranging study that will attract welcoming audiences in several sub-fields -- Japanese studies, comparative parties and elections, and comparative politics more broadly. It will be widely read and regularly cited as it should be." T.J. Pempel, University of California, Berkeley, "Scheiner makes effective use of statistics and qualitative interviews to document his points and a brief book review cannot do justice to the richness of his comparisons" Greg Kasza, Indiana University, 'This book is a serious work of comparative government aimed at a scholarly audience.' Political Studies Review, "Ethan Scheiner offers us the first truly credible and comprehensive explanation for why an unpopular political party has maintained control of government for decades in Japan, even with clean vote-counting in which a majority of voters usually vote against it. His careful analyses and comparisons with other dominant-party systems show that it's not the notorious SNTV/MMD electoral system, which was actually so troublesome for large parties that the ruling party finally got rid of it in 1994 . . . . Scheiner's surprising finding is that fiscal federalism, long advocated for other reasons, can also be vital to the formation of viable political opposition." Meg McKean, Duke University, "Ethan Scheiner's outstanding book tackles perhaps the most vexing issue for any student of Japanese politics: how a relatively unpopular party could remain in power for so much of the postwar era. Democracy without Competition in Japan takes an innovative theoretical approach, focusing on the clientelistic advantages, including in the recruitment of potential candidates, available to the LDP and largely denied to its erstwhile competitors. In drawing crucial insights from cutting-edge research on party politics and public finance, Scheiner makes a fresh argument that demands attention from anyone with in an interest in comparative democratic systems. This gracefully written and compelling book is a superb addition to studies of Japan and comparative politics more broadly; it deserves a wide readership." David Leheny, University of Wisconsin, Madison, "Scheiner's argument is totally original, brilliant, coherent, and well-supported with a wealth of evidence and empirical analysis. In rejecting both cultural arguments and simplistic electoral system determinism, he weaves together a creative and nuanced argument that takes socio-economic context, institutions, and historical development into account. There is no other work like it in the field and this is undoubtedly going to become the definitive and classic work on Japanese opposition parties for the foreseeable future." Ellis Kraus, University of California, San Diego
