For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The LDP and the Maintenance of Gender Inequality in Japanese Politics A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy from UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG by Emma Dalton BA (Hons), Masters in Japanese Interpreting and Translation Institute for Social Transformation Research School of Social Sciences, Media and Communication 2011 THESIS CERTIFICATION I, Emma Dalton, declare that this thesis, submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of Social Sciences, Media and Communication, University of Wollongong, is wholly my own work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged. The document has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Emma Dalton ii ABSTRACT The Japanese political system is dominated by men. From local to national level, from the legislature through to the bureaucracy, men outnumber women significantly. Dominant discourses of gender that shape Japanese womanhood as being connected to the home and family have gently steered women away from choosing a career in politics. Gender-role socialisation and gender stereotypes form the cultural barriers to women’s participation in mainstream representative politics.
