项目摘要

This project was organized as a US-Japan joint work on investigating impacts of the new electoral system on political change in late 1990s in Japan. The project succeeds to a prior research called "JEDS"(Japanese Election and Democracy Study) supported by the National Science Foundation in US (SBR-9632113). Consisted of the same members as the current project, the JEDS team conducted a national sampling survey all over Japan in the 1996 General Election. The current study started to do a panel survey using the same respondents by targeted to the 1998 House of Councilors Election. The panel data worked well to grasp of the essence of the changes after the electoral system renovation. The papers using the data as is shown in references showed how the political upheavals in the late 1990s are influenced by voters'psychological orientation, Japanese political cultural characteristics as well as institutional changes. The JEDS survey data is accessible in WWW (http : //www.iss.u-tokyo.ac.jp /pages/ssjda-e/)). It is open to the ICPSR member institutions in English. The data is valuable in the context that Japanese election surveys are not very well available in English. The project proceeded to get snowball samples in 2000. Because of flourishing explorations into the role of "social capital" to produce better democracy, our team tried to catch several aspects of social capital in Japan. As the base of the capital, we assumed social networks surrounding the voters play the crucial role, which necessarily, by using the snowballing technique, to capture exactly in what kind of networks and groups or how they are imbedded. Analyses on the data are still in progress and will be presented in the 2001 American Political Science Association meeting and the 2001 Japanese Society for Election Studies meeting.

该项目是美日联合组织的，旨在调查新选举制度对日本90年代末政治变革的影响。该项目继承了之前由美国国家科学基金会(SBR-9632113)资助的名为“JEDS”(日本选举与民主研究)的研究。JEDS团队由与当前项目相同的成员组成，在1996年大选期间在日本各地进行了一次全国抽样调查。本研究开始以1998年的众议院议员选举为目标，使用相同的受访者进行小组调查。小组数据很好地把握了选举制度改革后变化的实质。这些论文使用了参考文献中显示的数据，展示了90年代末的政治动荡是如何受到选民的心理取向、日本政治文化特征以及制度变化的影响的。在WWW(http：//www.iss.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Pages/ssjda-e/)上可以访问JEDS的调查数据。它以英文向ICPSR成员机构开放。在日本选举调查的英文版本不是很好的情况下，这些数据很有价值。该项目于2000年开始采集雪球样本。由于对“社会资本”的作用进行了大量的探索，以产生更好的民主，我们的团队试图抓住日本社会资本的几个方面。作为首都的基础，我们假设围绕选民的社交网络发挥着关键作用，通过滚雪球技术，必须准确地捕捉到什么样的网络和群体，或者他们是如何嵌入的。对数据的分析仍在进行中，将在2001年美国政治学协会会议和2001年日本选举研究学会会议上提出。
