Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Introduction : dynasties in democracies -- Putting Japan into comparative perspective -- A comparative theory of dynastic candidate selection -- Selection : from family business to party priority -- Election : the inherited incumbency advantage -- Promotion : dynastic dominance in the cabinet -- The consequences of dynastic politics for representation -- Conclusion : family fiefdoms and party politics.
Summary The presence of dynasties seems to run counter to widely held conceptions of democratic opportunity and fairness. Yet they persist throughout the modern democratized world. Looking at the institutional change in Japan's party system as a comparative model, Daniel M. Smith examines the factors that contribute to their development over time and space and the advantages that members of dynasties reap throughout their political careers.
