• Campaign communication and legislative leadership

  Stefan Müller, Naofumi Fujimura

  Abstract Do policy priorities that candidates emphasize during election campaigns predict their subsequent legislative activities? We study this question by assembling novel data on legislative leadership posts held by Japanese politicians and using a fine-tuned transformer-based machine learning model to classify policy areas in over 46,900 statements from 1270 candidate manifestos across five elections. We find that a higher emphasis on a policy issue increases the probability of securing a legislative post in the same area. This relationship remains consistent across multiple elections and persists even when accounting for candidates' previous legislative leadership roles. We also discover greater congruence in distributive policy areas. Our findings indicate that campaigns provide meaningful signals of policy priorities.

• Ideological Positions and Committee Chair Appointments

  Jochen Rehmert, Naofumi Fujimura

  Committee chairs hold crucial positions in the legislative process and can push or quell legislative initiatives. While extant studies examine the formal powers and legislative consequences of committee chairs, we know less about their appointment. We examine who ruling parties (principal) appoint to committee chairs (agent) in order to minimize the risk of policy moving away from government positions. Using data from Japan (2003–2017) on the LDP, we test expectations derived from the principal‐agent framework, conditional on committee type. Japan makes an ideal case to study intraparty chair appointments due to its coalitions' office‐allocation patterns. We find that the party leadership appoints as chairs ideologically close MPs to committees with jurisdiction on high policy. However, we find no effect for chair appointments on particularistic committees. Using additional data on bill‐amendment rates, we emphasize the legislative consequences of political appointments in the legislative process.

• Running Multiple Candidates, Dividing the Vote Under the Single Nontransferable Vote System: Evidence From Japan's Upper House Elections

  Naofumi Fujimura

  Political parties seek to make optimal nominations of candidates to maximize the number of seats they may win. In a multimember district with a single nontransferable vote (SNTV) electoral system, parties need to run the optimal number of candidates in each electoral district. If too many or too few candidates run, they may lose seats they might otherwise have won. In this situation, district-level party organizations face a collective action problem: they do not have the incentive to run multiple candidates for fear of losing all seats, despite needing to do so in order for the party to win a majority of seats in a legislature. This study examines the factors that enable parties to run multiple candidates in SNTV districts, and shows that parties undertake this action when they are able to divide the vote between party candidates on the basis of geography in the case of Japan.

• Re-election isn't everything: legislators’ goal-seeking and committee activity in Japan

  Naofumi Fujimura

  ABSTRACT: A number of political scientists have explained legislators’ behaviour as a function of their re-election, influence, and policy goals, but these goals are sometimes incompatible. This study seeks to explain under what conditions legislators emphasise the goals of building influence or shaping policy over re-election. The study focuses on Japanese legislators’ Diet committee attendance as a proxy for their attention to an influence or policy goal. It shows that legislators elected from an open-list proportional representation seat are most likely to emphasise building influence or shaping policy, while legislators elected from a district using a single non-transferable vote system are least likely to do so. Legislators are more likely to do so in a non-election year than in an election year. In addition, electorally stronger legislators are more likely to focus on influence or policy goals in an election year, while electorally weaker legislators are more likely to do so in a non-election year.

• The influence of electoral institutions on legislative representation: Evidence from Japan's single non-transferable vote and single-member district systems

  Naofumi Fujimura

  This study aims to offer empirical evidence of how electoral systems influence the way legislators represent their constituencies. In particular, it analyses the influence of electoral systems on legislators' representations in terms of a pattern of policy areas represented by them. By comparing legislators' behaviour under Japan's multi-member district, single non-transferable vote and single-member district systems, I demonstrate that electoral systems with higher district magnitude (i.e. higher number of seats per district) are more likely to offer electoral incentives for legislators to represent specific benefits, including particularistic interests in targeted policy areas. On the other hand, electoral systems with lower district magnitude are more likely to provide electoral incentives for representing diverse benefits, including general interests in various policy areas.

• Alternative paths to party polarization: External impacts of intraparty organization in Japan

  Hironori Sasada, Naofumi Fujimura, Satoshi Machidori

  Although party polarization is one of the most significant focal points in the study of contemporary US politics, a limited number of studies have examined its theoretical implications for other countries. In addition, a great deal of effort has been made in the study of the changes in voting bases (i.e., constituencies or interest groups). However, little attention has been given to the features of party organization. In this study we look at the process of polarization between two major parties in Japan in recent years and analyze the way Japanese parties took an alternative path to polarization. We argue that party polarization can be caused by the strategic position-taking of the party executive in addition to the centralization of the party organization.

• Electoral incentives, party discipline, and legislative organization: manipulating legislative committees to win elections and maintain party unity

  Naofumi Fujimura

  Political parties are often faced with seemingly opposing goals when trying to secure members' reelection and maintain party unity. On one hand, a party needs to fulfill members' diverse electoral needs for their reelection, and on the other hand, the party must force members to vote in unison according to party lines for collective decisions. How does a party influence its members to take unified action while meeting their individual electoral needs? Through an analysis of the Japanese Diet, this study argues that parties attempt to achieve the reelection of their members and maintain party unity by manipulating legislative committee assignments and deliberations. In particular, the study demonstrates that a party shapes committees in a different way according to policy areas over which committees have jurisdiction. A party tends to accept its members' requests for affiliation and allow their self-management in committees concerned with particularistic benefits so that they can deliver specific benefits to each electoral district. In addition, a party tends to assign members who have average policy positions in the party to committees concerned with general benefits to make policies that satisfy many constituencies.

• 小選挙区比例代表並立制下での役職配分：民主党の党内対立と政党投票

  FUJIMURA NAOFUMI

  In September 2009, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won office, ending more than a half-century rule by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Accordingly, DPJ legislators assumed important posts in the Cabinet and Diet. How does the DPJ assign legislative posts under the single-member district-centered system in order to pursue votes, office, and policies as compared to the LDP? This study finds that, similar to the LDP, the DPJ uses interfactional balancing and seniority rules because each can universally contribute to the maintenance of party unity. In contrast, in order to increase the votes, the DPJ allocates most key posts to electorally stronger members, whereas the LDP allocates posts to electorally vulnerable members since the DPJ has a party-centered electoral style, and the LDP has a candidate-centered style.

• Executive Leadership and Fiscal Discipline: Explaining Political Entrepreneurship in Cases of Japan

  Naofumi Fujimura

  This article discusses the effects of executive leadership on fiscal policies and performance. I propose that executive leadership, as a political entrepreneur who provides collective goods for organization, has incentives to maintain fiscal discipline so that he or she can stay in office by developing his or her party's reputation and leading party legislators to electoral success. This article argues that executive leadership with stronger public support is more likely to restrain fiscal expenditure and maintain fiscal discipline. I demonstrate this argument by showing that the prime minister who receives higher public support is more likely to restrain fiscal expenditure in Japan.

• The power relationship between the prime minister and ruling party legislators: The Postal Service Privatization Act of 2005 in Japan

  Naofumi Fujimura

  This article examines the power relationship between the prime minister and ruling party legislators. I theoretically explore the power relationship between the prime minister and ruling party legislators, and examine legislators' parliamentary voting, focusing on the political process of postal service privatization Of 2005. This analysis presents three arguments. First, theoretically, when the prime minister attempts to achieve a project, risking his or her job, he or she can firmly control ruling party legislators. Second, empirically, the anti-Koizumi legislators' rebellion was based on their unfounded assumption about the prime minister's behavior or ultimate outcomes. Third, the anti-Koizumi legislators' electoral incentives to secure their reelection and ruling incentives to weaken or overthrow the Koizumi Cabinet drove them to rebel against the prime minister in the Lower House, while the ruling incentives alone caused the rebellion in the Upper House.

  本研究は、選挙ガバナンスが「正確な投票(correct voting)」に如何なる影響を与えているのかを明らかにすることを目的とする。本研究は、選挙ガバナンスのうち近年世界的に進展している積極的投票権保障が、選挙において有権者の選好に最も近似する政党に投票することを意味する「正確な投票」に影響を与える条件とメカニズムを、実験およびサーベイ調査を用いて解明する。条件は多国間比較で、メカニズムは日本を事例に明らかにする。すなわち、積極的投票権保障のうち、本研究では、投票環境の改善(Ａ)、情報アクセス改善(Ｂ)と、有権者教育(Ｃ)を対象とする。後者では、ＡＢＣの３要素がどのように正確な投票に影響するのかを日本を対象に明らかにする。前者では、党派的キューの有効性の差異がこれら３要素の投票行動への作用に違いをもたらすのかを、党派的キューの有効性に多様性が生じる多国間比較で明らかにする。研究成果は国内外の学会および海外の主要査読誌で報告し、得られた知見の国際的な有用性を主張する。 令和1年度は、第１に、海外で提唱された概念である「正確な投票」が、日本においても同じ文脈・意味で理解可能かを明らかにするため、Lau &Redlawsk (2006)が実施した実験室実験を修正して行った。第２に、選挙ガバナンスが「正確な投票」に与える影響について、情報環境に注目した実証分析を行う準備段階として、参議院選挙を対象にインターネットを用いたプレテストを行った。第３に、有権者教育について、18歳選挙権導入に伴う主権者教育を対象として関係者へのリアリングを行うための準備作業を行った。第4に、多国間比較の第１段階で、日本、韓国、フィリピン、メキシコとの４カ国比較を行うために、党派的キューの有効性の違いに注目しつつ現地調査のための、現地選管からの協力関係を形成した。
