Students who write about elections in Japan has been largely concerned of party identification or partisanship, or the party-in-the-electorate. Very little attention has been paid to the role of party organizations in elections, mainly on the assumption that they had little role simply because Japanese parties lacked organized mass membership. But this assumption is unexamined, like in the U. S. Recent studies of American political parties revealed the greatly enlarged activities of national party committees, especially in congressional elections during 1980s, suggesting that parties could have adjusted to candidate-centered politics as useful intermediaries rather than as dominant actors. Also in Japan, more inquiry of parties' roles in elections is essential to a realistic understanding of Japanese elections.
