Society, Media and Elections in Japan, Taiwan and Mongolia   by Christian Schafferer Modern East Asia Vol. 5, No. 1 (March 2006) Abstract Democratization in Taiwan and Mongolia has not only changed the role of democratic institutions and the role of society in the political process, but also brought about manifold changes in the relationship between the voter, the media and the politician. In Japan, the region’s oldest democracy, economic development and demographic and social changes have also changed the traditional relationship between the three actors. In this book, the author looks at the changing interrelationship between society, the media and the political arena that have evolved over the last decade and uses the 2004 and 2005 national elections to illustrate the consequences of these manifold changes.     Order Information This item can be ordered by e-mail (info[at]eastasia.at).
