本文讨论了日本政党和候选人如何在2000年和2001年的两次全国选举中利用互联网争夺公众支持。研究的主要问题是，日本长期一党执政的独特制度背景和受控制的媒体环境，在多大程度上影响了政治行动者的网络竞选发展。这个问题是通过分析一段时间以来党的在线活动趋势和网站内容分析来解决的。结论是，互联网对小党派的命运产生了重大影响，开放了跨党派竞争，增强了他们对立法改革的呼吁。
This article discusses how Japanese political parties and candidates have been using the Internet to compete for public support in two national elections held in 2000 and 2001. The major question examined is how far the unique institutional context within Japan of long-standing one-party rule and a controlled media environment has affected the development of Web campaigning by political actors. This question is addressed through analysis of trends over time in party activity online and content analysis of websites. It is concluded that the Internet has had a significant impact on the fortunes of minor parties, opening up cross-party competition and enhancing their calls for legislative reform.
