The unemployment rate in Japan has increased after the first oil crisis. Though its level is still low compared to other industrialized countries, the upward trend is significant. It is widely held that changes in labor supply, especially extensive female labor force participation are primarily responsible for this trend. This study uses sectoral shift theory to investigate the effects of rapid changes in labor demand across sectors on the Japanese unemployment rate. Sectoral shifts such as large relative price changes, rapid technological changes and shifts in output demand require reallocation of labor across sectors. If labor is specific to a sector, sectoral shift disturbances could increase the unemployment rate. The sectoral shift view differs much from conventional view of the business cycle. They explain aggregate fluctuations by aggregate demand movements. The sectoral shift argument attributes aggregate fluctuation primarily to allocative disturbances across sectors. In this study, the distinction between these two disturbances is essential. Previous methods developed in macroeconomics and the sectoral shift literature are employed. The two oil crisis and volatile exchange rate movements generated large variations among industrial sectors. Firms are now quicker to adjust their employment level. Regional imbalances of labor markets are observed. However, statistical tests using unemployment rate equations do not support the sectoral shift hypothesis. Japanese-specific aspects of labor markets are posited as reasons for this rejection. Japanese firms tend to avoid dismissals by utilizing various measures such as changes in hours worked, personnel transposition within a firm, loaning workers to related or new businesses, and hiring newly graduates in expanding sectors. They do not dismiss workers until other alternatives are exhausted and a demand decline is found to be persistent. In general, the flexibility of Japanese labor markets mitigates the effect of sectoral shifts.

▼ The migration of cultural products can be readily observed in recent decades because so many products are produced in one country and consumed in another. On the cultural effects of the migration of cultural products, the debate between the global homogenization paradigm and the creolization paradigm predominates in academia. For the most part, scholars either assume that the values within global products are accepted completely unchanged by local consumers or attribute the emergence of all their new meanings to the creativity of local consumers. Moreover, studies on the functions of intermediaries that mediate between foreign products and local consumers and the intermediate processes of the migration remain limited. This thesis aims to fill this research gap through a thorough examination of the case of Aoi Sola, a Japanese adult video (AV) actress who has achieved amazing popularity in mainland China since 2010. Combining the approaches of field work, the analysis of media texts, and in-depth interview, this thesis shows a rounded picture of Sola, as she crossed cultural borders as a cultural product, underwent foundational transformations in the social meanings ascribed to her by the intermediaries and other local groups, and returned back to her original country, Japan. Through fifteen-month participant observation in the celebrity’s two Chinese agencies, this study reveals that the intermediaries, Orchid and Sakura, played a significant role in the transformation of Sola in the Chinese context, even though their operations are usually invisible to outsiders. They not only assign new meanings to Sola but also attempt to remove Sola’s previous image as an AV actress and to weaken the politically sensitive meaning created by Chinese Internet users. The findings challenge the conventional scholarly assumption that foreign products produced by global producers are consumed “directly” by local consumers or that the significance of these intermediaries can be ignored. The thesis demonstrates that it is inaccurate to assume that all the meanings of global products in their local contexts are created by foreign corporations or local consumers. The thesis further demonstrates that multiple local groups, including intermediaries, the Chinese media, and Chinese Internet users, reinterpret Sola in different, even contradictory, ways. These groups respond to the dominant beliefs on “pornography” and “Japaneseness” in Chinese society according to their own interests and social positions. Thus, this research refutes the presumption that a local society is a coherent monolith in the acceptance of foreign cultural products. It argues that the competition and contestation between different local groups should be taken into account when conceptualizing the migration of cultural goods. Finally, through its examination of the ways Chinese Internet users identify with Sola, this thesis shows that they regard Sola as a safe weapon with which to express their resistance against government censorship and also as a model of…

▼ Ongoing labour shortages in the healthcare sector are becoming pressing issues for Japan, a country with an aging population and declining birth rate. In order to secure the nation’s future and further economic development, Japan has now accepted migrant healthcare workers from Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). The EPA has drawn scholarly attention from researchers in the areas of healthcare, policy studies and Japanese language education. Among these disciplinary studies, language has been identified as one of the major, crucial issues. One reason is that migrant healthcare workers are expected to pass the national nursing/caregiving examinations in the Japanese language within three to four years in order to work in Japan on a long-term basis. This dissertation examines the EPA from the perspective of language policy and planning (LPP). The most important approach in the current LPP research – the ethnography of language policy – conceptually and methodologically informs this study. While the EPA is a bilateral treaty to enhance economic benefits of signatory countries, this study treats it as a language policy that is constantly negotiated and played out by social actors situated in a variety of contexts, holding varying goals, interests, and beliefs that are susceptible to wider socio-political discourses and language ideologies. In order to describe processes of policy creation, interpretation and appropriation, the study employs a two-tier research design: document analysis and ethnographic fieldwork. While document analysis focuses on ideologies and implicit practices represented in the policy texts and national policy-making initiatives, ethnographic fieldwork attends to local contexts where the EPA is experienced by local institutional actors, in this study, in one local elderly care facility in Japan. This two-tier design enables me to identify Japan’s persistent monolingualism throughout the operation of the EPA. The creation of the EPA is found to serve the interests of the powerful healthcare industry, by positioning migrant healthcare workers in a discourse of superior us (Japanese) and inferior them (migrants) and reproducing Japan’s monolingual and standard language ideologies as well as widely-held myths of language teaching and learning. In the elderly care facility, too, the monolingual workplace is maintained by efforts of local actors whose institutional roles and attitudes toward workplace language use and language learning differ considerably. While the facility director exerts the major control over language use, education and assessment through the introduction of a Japanese-only policy, other institutional actors exercise limited agency in manoeuvring around the policy while participating in the construction of an imagined monolingual workplace community. This study contributes to the LPP discipline by, firstly, offering a critique of the important top-down-bottom-up and macro-micro policy metaphors and arguing for an alternative view… Advisors/Committee Members: Gao, AX, Tollefson, JW.

While some municipalities grow, others decline. When municipalities are in disastrous conflicts or degrade service quality, residents may move away, speeding up a cycle of decline. Drawing on Albert Hirschman’s Exit, Voice, and Loyalty (EVL), this study aims to reveal citizens’ response mechanism to the municipal decline caused by a municipal government failure. Recent EVL studies for local governance have examined whether citizens, in general, are more likely to exit or voice complaints as a consequence of dissatisfaction with municipal goods and services. Few studies, however, have tested EVL under specific circumstances of municipal decline. With the case of the Japanese town Ohwani in fiscal crisis, the study examines the effects of fiscal reform, which involve the impact of tax increases, service cuts, and political conflicts, on citizens’ intention to exit, voice activities, and their perceptions on municipal management. The Japanese alert system for local governments in fiscal crisis offers a stellar setting to measure the impact of fiscal reconstruction. In this legislation, the central government sets the national criteria of fiscal soundness, and further mandates the local governments which fell short of the criteria to design and implement a fiscal reform plan under the supervision of central agency. Given the exogenous fiscal reform mandate, the identification strategy makes central use of the experimental framework that contrasts Ohwani under fiscal reform to a control village not under fiscal reform, Inakadate which shares similar socio-demographic features. In the first phase of study, qualitative interviews with 14 Ohwani residents were conducted to develop the quantitative measures of EVL concepts under the specific circumstances of municipal decline. The estimation approach in the second quantitative phase is a unique difference-in-difference (DID) design whose time difference is enabled by a careful retrospective measurement. To revoke personal recall, the survey questionnaire was designed to take two-step process from present to past and to use mayor election as a benchmark to elicit memories of the past municipal management. I collected data from 600 randomly sampled citizens of Ohwani and Inakadate with a response rate of 44%. The findings show significant effects of the fiscal reconstruction on exit but not on voice, and further reveal that dissatisfaction with service quality did not arise due to service cuts/tax increases in the fiscal reform while distrust in policy process significantly increased.

▼ The term Ethiopia has come to connote starvation and poverty for decades now. It is not because the country is unsuitable for agriculture; however its name invariably raises whenever the international media raise issues related to famine, starvation and drought. Strangely enough, however, before Ethiopia became one of the foremost food aid receiving countries in the world, some Ethiopian scholars had foreseen their country s doom and had warned that it would have occurred. The intellectuals had been highly concerned about their country s future and had penned that the problems they had observed should have been dealt with right away: they had not only pointed out the problems elaborately but also had suggested in their own ways the corresponding measures to be taken. This study also analyzed the concepts of development communication discussed in the books entitled Mengistina Yehizib Astedader Seletenech? (1916E.C/1924G.C) and Japan Endemin (1946 E.C / 1954G.C) which were authored by two of these Ethiopian intellectuals namely Kebede Mikael and Gebrehiwet Baykedagne. It examined economic, political and cultural aspects of the society the authors commend, criticize and predict upon and identified the effects they brought upon the government. This study was conducted through textual analysis method. Different concepts of development communication the authors raise are dealt with comparatively through point by point method of organization, and sense for sense method of translation is used to translate Amharic texts into English. The findings of this research indicated that Kebede Mikael and Gebrehiwet Baykedagne s concepts of development communication cannot be ultimately classed under any of internationally recognized paradigms of development communication though they are slightly similar with Modernization and dependency paradigms respectively. Recommendations made in the two books for the most part went unheeded. Even though those few heeded ideas brought about significant changes, those ignored recommendations like, land reform brought the government down and ruined the country.

▼ In an environment characterized by intense competition, creative sclerosis, and tighter budgets, the Japanese advertising industry is facing ever-growing challenges requiring constant remodelling and problem solving. Over time, advertising production companies within the advertising business have proved to be important players especially in the creative production processes. The present study has aimed to investigate the functioning of an advertising production company using an ethnographic approach. Based on an in-depth study of primary sources from field observation and interviews obtained between 2010 and 2012 in a Tokyo-based advertising production company- IDEA, the study depicts the position of advertising production company under established hierarchy within the Japanese advertising industry, and creative professionals within the company regarding how they collaborate with different production actors during a TV commercial production process. As “creativity” is the core value of an advertising production company, I mainly focus upon how the creativity was produced in IDEA. Therefore, IDEA creative laboratory (ICL), the designers at the ICL, and their advertising production process (including ways of brainstorming, proposal formation and revision) are my concerns in the thesis. The key problems ICL encountered lay in the process of producing a TV commercial when they operate in an industry dominated by one large and successful company. In this highly competitive environment ICL faced tremendous structural difficulties in obtaining projects. I chose to focus, my research on understanding the company’s internal dynamics as a medium-sized company to develop a clear picture of the factors than enable its survival in its difficult context. I closely examined the roles and interplay among individuals within the advertising production company. My goal is to understand how people interact and became involved in advising on the production process. My key research question is: When facing the aforementioned structural limitations, how can the internal group dynamics function to promote success? Studying internal group dynamics in this one company furthers our understanding for the entire advertising industry since internationally a few extremely large companies dominated this sector—the experience of ICL is a microcosm of a wider industry phenomenon. My thesis argues that “collaborative creativity” best describes the successful internal group dynamics and in medium-sized industries faced with highly stratified environments is key to their survival in the creative industries. My research is the first to identify this phenomenon of “collaborative creativity” in the context of the highly stratified Japanese advertising industry. Moreover, in contrast to previous scholarship I demonstrate that it is the interactions between advertisers and various parts of the internal sections of the production companies that are central to the development of a successful creative business in a highly unequal context because it…

▼ In May of 2009, Japan began formal operations of the saiban-in seido or lay judge system, a quasi-jury means of criminal trial adjudication that represents the first occasion since 1943 that average Japanese citizens will be required to fulfill a role in the criminal jurisprudential process. While the lay judge system promises to affect the methods and procedures of criminal trials in Japan, recent scholarship in the United States has raised an interesting question: to what degree can the lay participatory adjudication process facilitate greater levels of civic engagement in past citizen jurists once their service has completed? It is with this question in mind that the Japanese lay judge system is examined. In this work I first analyze how the Japanese judicial system fits within the global context, measuring it against the adversarial and inquisitorial archetypes that are followed by other liberal democracies. I then look to describe how lay adjudication is handled elsewhere around the world, finding that two major systems are employed - the Anglo-American jury and the European mixed-tribunal - with the Japanese lay judge system bearing great resemblance towards the latter. In investigating the origins of the lay judge system, and the changes this new method brings to Japanese criminal jurisprudence, I seek to detail the goals of this recent reform and the opportunities the lay judge system has to realize those aims. Finally, I look to how lay participation in the courtroom can inspire individuals to be more civically active once their service at trial is finished. In this pursuit, I look to relevant theoretical literature that describes how deliberative participation can spur further participation in civil society, as well as recent research in the United States that document linkages between jury service and an individual`s later inclination to be more civically engaged. With this evidence in hand, I return the focus to Japan and the lay judge system and ask what results can be expected under this new system. As sufficient data is not readily available to make definitive declarations as to the civic engagement-enhancing potential of the lay judge system - due to the relative newness of the institution - this thesis instead offers theories and hypotheses that may prove fruitful to later investigations on this very question. Moreover, I examine opinions prevalent in the current literature that would question the ability of the lay judge system to invigorate the civic engagement-tendencies of past lay jurists and analyze their veracity. In this manner, I seek to provide future research in this area with a more stable footing to proceed. Advisors/Committee Members: Bruce Gilley.

Christianity is widely regarded as having failed to make any impact on Japanese culture, and to be a foreign body (indeed in the opinion of some an irritating foreign body) that has failed to accommodate with or indigenise itself in Japan. And yet, Japanese people continue to choose to convert to Christianity. What is the significance of this? Are people who convert those who feel excluded from mainline Japanese society, the proof of which is their affiliation with a foreign religion, or can this phenomenon of conversion be understood in a different way? This thesis suggests that it can be, and that the fact that small but significant numbers of Japanese regularly convert to Christianity means that the understanding of Christianity’s place in the Japanese religious landscape needs to be re-examined.Theories of conversion are studied, with a view to identifying the particular approaches to analysing and understanding conversion which will be appropriate for the Japanese context. The work of Rodney Stark and William Bainbridge on conversion to a deviant perspective forms the starting point for the study. Cultural and religious norms of Japan are identified, with a view to investigating in what ways and to what degree Christianity in Japan represents a deviant perspective. The history of Christianity in Japan is studied, indicating that at certain times in Japan’s history when there is a feeling of national uncertainty and of a lack of social integration there is an openness to Christianity, although at times of national self-confidence there is more resistance to it. Christianity is also compared and contrasted with Japan’s New Religious Movements, which may also represent a deviant perspective. Qualitative research among converts to Christianity is carried out. The results of this research show that while there are parallels between conversion to Christianity and to New Religious Movements there are also areas of difference, especially in terms of motives for conversion. Motives for conversion to Christianity tend to focus on what might be termed “the spiritual”, and conversion is experienced in terms of emotional peace, welcome into a Christian congregation, and the promise of salvation to come, rather than the “health and wealth” or “this worldly benefits” which are reckoned to be, or to have been, motives for conversion to New Religious Movements. As Shimazono Susumu points out, however, the so called “New” New Religions also have a focus on spiritual salvation.The conclusion reached is that, though Japanese who convert to Christianity are choosing “the other” in that their choice is clearly not to stay within the religious mainstream of the country, yet Japanese society is more heterogeneous than is often assumed and actually embraces a range of diverse groups. Christian converts, while being aware of the tensions which they face as a result of conversion, do not feel “outsiders” in Japanese society. So, while Christianity cannot be said to… Advisors/Committee Members: Reader, Ian.

▼ This thesis examines several Japanese government policies that impact on the environment in order to determine whether they incorporate a sufficient ethical substance. Japan built its domestic environmental policy on the experiences of combating its catastrophic post war pollution crises; these crises were created as the result of the country’s relentless drive towards becoming a world economic super-power. As with many other countries, global environmental issues are an important agenda in governments’ policies and from the late 1980s the Japanese government incorporated global initiatives into its domestic environmental directives. Since that time climate change issues have become a focal point of Japan’s environmental policies, and by the 1990s the country had by means of regulations moved from being one of the world’s most polluted countries, to one that had become one of the world’s most environmentally responsible. However, Japan’s economic success from the 1980s led to mounting criticism over its overseas business practices, practices that discounted the value of the ecosystems of its trading partners. In the enquiry into the ethics of the policies, this thesis explores how Western philosophers combined their theories to develop a ‘Western environmental ethics code’; the thesis also reveals the existence of a unique ‘Japanese environmental ethics code’ built on Japan’s cultural traditions, religious practices, and empirical experiences. The discovery of the distinctive Japanese code is not only important for what it discloses as a new philosophy, but most importantly how it can be used to analyse the ethical framework of the Japanese policies. In spite of the positive contributions that Japan has shown towards the global environment, the government has failed to show a corresponding moral obligation to the world ecology in its global environmental policy. The policies examined in the three case studies comprising whaling, nuclear energy, and forestry, have also been found wanting in ecological ethical considerations, both from a Western and Japanese perspective. The main reason for this is that the integrity of the policies has been compromised by Japanese vested interest groups; business and political interests ensure that the policies are primarily focused on maintaining sustainable economic growth. Whilst Japan’s global environmental policy initiatives are the key to its economic survival into the 21st century, and these initiatives may achieve their aim, they do however fail the Japanese code of environmental ethics.

Textens syfte är att peka på ett antal av de förutsättningar som har möjliggjort det moderna japanska enfamiljshusets särart. Fokus ligger på det typiska i centrala Tokyos stadsbild som är en viktig faktor för den allmänna utvecklingen. Stor inflyttning och ett svagt regelverk för stadsplanering har skapat unika småhusområden. Den täta stadsstrukturen har skapat många speciella lösningar även i bebyggelse utan arkitektonisk ambition, mycket av det man ser i publicerade arkitekturprojekt är vanliga inslag i den standardbetonade bebyggelsen. Ekonomi är också en viktig faktor. Priset för mark är mycket högt i förhållande till byggkostnader vilket både gör att husets kostnad i en totalbudget är proportionerligt mindre än på många andra platser och att omsättningen på byggnader är hög. Ritningsmaterialet är ett tävlingsprojekt i staden Calahorra i norra Spanien. Projektets ide var att med främst småhusbebyggelse rita en plan där man uppnår en lika stor befolkningsmässig täthet som i ett område med flerbostadshus. De urbana lösningarna är baserade på de situationer man hittar i Tokyos småhusområden och kan ses som ett försök att formalisera de stadsplanemönster och situationer som genom långa processer har uppstått i Japan.

The aim of the thesis was to discuss preconditions shaping the modern Japanese single-family dwelling. The typical characteristics of the Tokyo cityscape were crucial for the general development of architecture. Urbanization and weak planning regulations have created unique low-rise districts. The density of the urban fabric has created specific architectural solutions in the average house. Many features in houses published in architectural press depict common solutions in the average area. Economy has also been an important factor. The price of land is very high in proportion to other building related costs. The actual building costs are proportionally lower compared to the land price than in many other places and because of this the redevelopment frequency of properties has become high. The drawings are from an architectural competition in the city Calahorra in the north of Spain. The idea of the project was to use primarily single-family dwellings to create as high density of population as an area containing taller buildings. The urban solutions were based on situations found in the low-rise districts of Tokyo, this is an attempt to formalize the urban patterns that have developed through long processes in Japan.

▼ My dissertation, Unveiling Open Secrets of Hometown, War, and Mass Culture in Twentieth Century Japanese Lyric Poetry, explores the potential of lyric poetry, when used in conjunction with strategies of translation and rewriting, to unveil politically charged open secrets. Translation theorist André Lefèvre has said that translation can function as a kind of “alibi” that allows the translator to evade or redirect the pressures of censorship, to publish subversive material that might excite a more repressive reaction were it under the author’s name as original work. The poets treated in my dissertation all use various modes of translation, rewriting, or adaptation to create an alibi for themselves, a quietly resistant lyric voice forged from the fragments of other languages, other writers, and other media. Although modern lyric has often been portrayed as an elite art form removed from popular art forms, all the poets and artists discussed in my project adapt visual imagery and motifs from mass culture into lyric poetry in order to show the pervasiveness of these open secrets in a way that permeates the cultural environments of the elite and ordinary people alike.The first chapter explores Kitahara Hakushû’s (1885-1942) defamiliarizing portrayal of the nostalgic ideal of the hometown in his 1912 poetry collection Memories and other works. Hakushû uses visual devices drawn from Meiji cinema to reveal the projected, artificial quality of the notion of hometown. The second chapter investigates Ueda Bin’s (1874-1916) translations of Charles Baudelaire, which portray indirect ripples of the distant Russo-Japanese War in the latent violence of urban life in Tokyo. Chapter three discusses several 1930s lyric poets’ use of formal motifs drawn from mass media in their works of propagandistic nationalism during the Pacific War, and argues that these writers endued their works of nationalistic poetry with oblique criticism of wartime militarism. The last chapter of the dissertation investigates the legacy of these prewar and wartime strategies of the open secret in 1960s poetry and film of the Minamata environmentalist activist movement.

▼ This thesis is concerned with the extent to which new teacher evaluation policies and practices in Japan are about controlling teachers or represent opportunities for authentic professional development. It seeks to examine how the new teacher evaluation policies are embedded within the wider policy formation, what perspectives teachers have on the new policies and what their experiences are, and how the new teacher evaluation policies are actually being enacted in schools. The thesis uses a range of methods to explore these concerns. For the purpose of macro analysis of the new teacher evaluation policies, it examines both primary and secondary documentation around policy development. For studying the impact of the policy in schools, it draws on data from a national survey and in-depth interviews with a sample of teachers and head teachers. In this way, it employs a mixed methods approach in which quantitative data is used to provide a general picture of how teachers experience and perceive the new teacher evaluation policies and practices and qualitative data is used to provide the depth of analysis required to look at the nature of performativity in schools. The concept of performativity has been central to the overall investigation. The study argues for a particular reading of performativity — a work through, as opposed to work upon, perspective. This analytical lens illustrates how the new teacher evaluation policies have played a role in producing or reinforcing the mutually policing relations that lead to destabilisation of teacher’s identities. This thesis concludes that the enactment of new teacher evaluation policies has had significant indirect impacts on teachers and teachers’ work by affecting modes of school management and teachers’ relationships. By illustrating the usefulness of the work through perspective of performativity, it has enabled theorizing of performativity to advance. It also illuminates both congruence and variance between teacher evaluation policies as enacted in Japan and other countries. Japan’s teacher evaluation is no less effective as a measure of political control than its counterparts in other countries, but it can work in a more subtle way: teacher evaluation affects, repositions, and reconstructs teachers’ work and identities through affected relationships as mentioned above. This implies that teachers as well as policymakers should develop a more broad, macro-political and critical perspective on teacher evaluation.

▼ Japan currently faces a demographic crisis resulting from declines in fertility rates and rapid expansion of Japan’s elderly population. Public pensions will come under immense strain as shrinking numbers of working age people are forced to support ever more retirees. At the same time, declines in fertility and falling population figures threaten Japan’s future economic growth and vitality. This thesis investigates the relationship between the demographic crisis and Japan’s strict immigration policies. Policymakers continue to refuse to allow migration to Japan in order to offset declines in Japan’s own working age population. The thesis aims to explain why Japan remains so reluctant to accept migrant workers from abroad, even though this may offer a solution to the problems of demographic decline and depopulation. I contend that conventional analyses of Japan’s immigration policies do not provide adequate explanations for why Japan continues to exclude foreign labourers. Rather, I argue that Japan’s attitude must be understood in connection with a binary, “us-and-them” mindset toward foreign countries and communities collectively that exists in Japan’s governing and bureaucratic institutions. This mindset is evident in Japan’s practical labour policy implementation, and has important cultural and political implications for Japan’s public discourses of national identity and interests. The thesis argues that Japan remains unwilling to accept migrant labourers because of an immigration policy structure that resolutely adheres to an outdated view of migrants as mere units of labour. This overlooks changed global models of migration that prioritise human rights, proactive social integration and strategic selection of migrants. While Japan could ease the effects of depopulation and demographic decline by revising core policy assumptions in order to effectively integrate migrants into the dwindling national workforce, it has so far failed to engage with newer models of migration. My analysis locates Japan’s crisis within a wider context of global demographic change and transnational population movement in the twenty-first century.

▼ Japan maintained a high level of regional equality from the 1970s through the 1990s. The LDP’s policies, especially regional industrial development policies, public works, national subsidies, and financial transfers to local governments, played important role in reducing regional disparity between urban and rural areas, resulting in strong support from the rural electorate. This made the LDP’s long-term dominance possible. In the 2000s, however, regional disparities between urban and rural areas began to increase. This dissertation explores the causes of the regional disparity from a politics and policy perspective.; Starting in the 1980s, Japan faced international and domestic challenges, such as economic globalization, a decline of economic growth, budget deficits, and an aging society, which made it difficult for Japan to sustain the 1955 System. These problems necessitated a reform of the system. But attempts to reform made little change until the LDP reconsidered its rural-based electoral strategy. The increasing power of urban, non-affiliated voters during the 1990s began to shift the LDP’s rural-oriented policies. After the election of Koizumi as prime minister, the government reduced public works projects in rural areas and redirected them toward urban areas. These projects focused on the renovation of urban centers and the construction of international airports and harbors. This was a response to strong demands to improve international competitiveness. Meanwhile, the government launched decentralization reform to cope with problems arising from globalization, an aging society, and rural depopulation. In particular, concern over local budget deficits under the conditions of the increase of the aged population and depopulation in rural areas facilitated fiscal decentralization from the early 2000s. This resulted in a high reliance on local revenue sources rather than financial transfers from the central government, providing benefits to local governments in urban areas while it damaged financial conditions of local governments in rural areas. This study argues that the increase in regional disparity was a result of the changes in the LDP’s traditional, rural-oriented policies, aimed to improve Japan’s economic performance and to secure the party’s political power. In particular, a policy shift in public works and local finance (fiscal decentralization) considerably increased the regional disparity. Advisors/Committee Members: Shipper, Apichai W.
