世界体系视角下的日本选举地理 与农业政策分析 ——以2017年日本大选为例.

The electoral geographic world system method can explain the role and significance of electoral diversification in different regions of the world economy. This paper focuses on the 2017 Japanese General Election and combines the world system analysis method with electoral politics to explore the political tussle between different interest groups in international free trade and domestic agricultural policy reform. This reveals the relationship between global geopolitical economic changes and local elections. The results show that: (1) Due to the "incumbency effect" caused by low-information and low-participation elections, the one-party dominance pat‐ tern of the liberal Democratic Party is stable, but the intensity of the election in urban and rural areas varies greatly, and the representativeness is increasingly unbalanced; (2) The global neoliberalism promotes the reconstruction of Japan's economic space and the change of its electoral power, forming the political geography of power based on free trade economic geography and the political geography of support based on traditional agricultural culture geography; (3) By adjusting the power relationship between the agricultural interest groups and the prime minister, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) regime reformed the agricultural policy and closed the separation between the supporting geography and the power geography.
